Chorus: Bending blades, tall grass blowing in the breeze Shining in the sun Lonely days I keep going to the place We went when we were young All
As time draws near my dearest dear when you and I must part How little you know of the grief and woe in my poor and my poor aching heart Tis' but I
This world is made with sweat and toil, pushing muscle and elbow oil We can't lie too long in the shade, cause every day must be remade Some days you
I been climbin up a mountain since the day that I was born It's been so long of a journey and I'm feelin kinda tired and worn Tired and worn, tired
I had an old hen she had a wooden leg Best old hen that never laid an egg Laid more eggs than any hen around the barn Another dirink of whiskey wouldnA
You and me out in the dark lookin' for shadows Saturday night, a little too young to take good care A little too wild, a little too old to get lost
When you look out your window and see her runnin' away You start addin' things up, how you let her down Now she'?s makin' you pay, by runnin' away It
She was heavy with child and he had a hungry look They were out on the road just waitin' to be took And I wasn't much better, all I owned in a sack But
Down in the willow garden Where me and my true love did meet It was there, we went a courting My love fell off to sleep I had a bottle of burgundy wine

She had five hundred dollars that her grandma left She said for a rainy day A hundred more from the general store Where she stocked the shelves for
Lady Margaret was standing in her own room door A comb in her long yellow hair When who did she spy but Sweet William and his bride As to the church
Well met, well met, my own true love Well met, well met, cried he I've just returned from the salt, salt sea And it's all for the sake of thee I'
Family history, I don't know too much, family history, I don't keep in touch With my mother and father quite like I want to do There's some family history
We have our moods sometimes we might get out of synch We might even have a fight if we have to much to drink I guess she has her own shape and I know
At the end of the summer there's a couple of days Before the weather starts shiftin' and changin' it's ways The winds blow so gently on the things lovers
I've played cards in England I've gambled in Spain Goin back to Carolina Gonna play my last game Jack of diamonds, jack of diamonds I've known you
Made up my mind to go Some place so far away, I headed west Without a sad goodbye No hugs or tears that way, it's probably for the best Sent cards
