作词 : Whitmore | |
In a box made of pine lays the sweet love of mine | |
she's been gone for nearly a year | |
The river would overflow | |
if only I could trade a raindrop for every tear | |
It was the year of ought one and our life had begun | |
no perils could make us distraught | |
Together we stood through bad and through good | |
no hardships that couldn't be fought | |
She fell ill one dark winter's night | |
and before too long the passed | |
It would prove to be true my whole life through | |
that nothing good would last | |
It all ended that day when I saw her ride away | |
in the back of that long black hearse | |
I remember so well my personal hell | |
began on this here Earth | |
I've half the heart I used to have and half the will to go on | |
I've got half a mind to drink myself blind | |
now that my darlin' is gone | |
Now the winter's teeth are biting down | |
and it chills me to the bone | |
To think about that cold mattress | |
and sleeping all alone | |
So now I know what I must do | |
the path ahead of me is clear | |
I must join her now wherever she's at | |
'cause I ain't doin' no good here |
