(Katz)
|
|
High on a mountain where the sun still shines
|
And the water runs a little lazy
|
Wild-eyed and lonely, running out of time
|
Some will say I died half-crazy
|
|
One time a hustler took me for a ride
|
All because I tried to deceive her
|
She broke me down and laughed and left me weak inside
|
The more I lost my pride, the more it pleased her
|
|
Carry me 'cross the water,
|
I've been over there once before
|
Stayed with a poor man's daughter
|
I can't live in this country no more
|
|
Death beds and ragged threads are my last home
|
Someone should have known of my ending
|
Born bad, I killed a man for sympathy
|
Ain't much left of me worth defending
|
|
Carry me 'cross the water,
|
I've been over there once before
|
And I stayed with a poor man's daughter
|
I can't live in this country no more
|
