FIDDLE & MANDOLIN: KELLY WERTS

They told me that I could sing for my supper
If I promised to sing a very sad song
They were lonesome, lost in the darkness
They had gone without love for much too long
So I went with my guitar in my hand
I sang a very lonely melody
They said Boy you know how to tell it
In a song you just summed up my misery

God damn the war, God damn the president
God damn the man who comes to take the rent
Just let us be Mister just let us go
Just let us dream of freedom so long ago

Music's like a river Man sometimes it flows too fast
Just leaves you crying with nothing more to say
You pack up your bags, throw your money on the table
You say so long boys got to be a better way
Now Maria & I have a house by the river
We don't get out too much, there ain't much we want to see
Sometimes I think of old friends, sometimes they think of me
But them old stomping grounds ain't what they used to be
No them old stomping grounds ain't what they used to be
