I never picked cotton
Like my mother did and my brother
I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road
When
"Lord, have mercy on me"
Was the kneeling drunkard's plea
And as
I give my woman half my money at the general
We saw houses falling from the sky
Where the mountains lean
Take one fresh and tender kiss
Add one stolen night of
Rowboat Row me to the shore
She don't wanna be
You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of
{1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4}
The lights in the harbor
Don't shine
There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young uns
Jesus I don't wanna die alone Jesus oh Jesus I
So blue, lonesome too but still true
Rosie, haunts me, makes
I have been ungrateful And I have been unwise Restless
