Standin by a river on a dark and moonless night
There’s nothin in my desperate life that turns out as it might
I’m cryin for a world I lost a world that can’t be found
I can no sooner bring it back than turn this river round
Our love once was deep n strong as the water at my feet
And if hadn’t done her wrong she’d still be mine to keep
Instead I listen to the fever singing in my blood
Washed away the life I loved surely as the flood
Oh river rollin from the mountains to the sea
You’re cold deep and wide you’re as mighty as can be
Faith will say your waters cleans their souls set them free
It’s gonna take much more than you to wash these sins from me
Our love once was deep n strong as the water at my feet
And if hadn’t done her wrong she’d still be mine to keep
Instead I listen to the fever singing in my blood
Washed away the life I loved surely as the flood
Our love once was deep n strong as the water at my feet
And if hadn’t done her wrong she’d still be mine to keep
Instead I listen to the fever singing in my blood
It’s gonna take much more than you
To wash these sins from me

Farmers Lament
03:03
|

|
Close to sundown dust hanging like a cloud
A farmer is all I want to be
But the bank owns my land and I don’t understand
They’re telling me I’ve got to leave my home
Got to leave my home
They showed up today and they told me to pay
They told me all about the deed
Now all the work I’ve done has amounted to none
They’re telling me it’s not about their greed
Not about their greed
The fields lay fallow and the house is dark and cold
My wife and kids are headed down the road
Done all I can do stripped down to flesh and bone (this gets held)
Please help me god don’t leave me here alone
Leave my here alone
It’s been a few years a farmer no more
The shadows from the dust are nowhere near
They’ve taken my land title in greedy hands
Now their mines where I’m bound to be (on the land I used to own)
I’m bound to be (Land I used to own)
Now I strip and mine the land I used to own
Land I used to own
