Goddamn You, Jim Lyrics
Winter passed without a glaze, took our only boy at last
You cried God's arms were a blind an' bleeding ocean
Blooming spring brought all I need
Warmth and rain for me to seed my earth, good earth for our boy to lie in
In the summer I worked the land
She walked like she still held his hand
And I swear to God I saw her once of trace a'smiling.
In the autumn, my gold wheat swaying,
I cut her down from where she was swinging
She said: Goddamn you, Jim, up there I could hear him laughing
You cried God's arms were a blind an' bleeding ocean
Blooming spring brought all I need
Warmth and rain for me to seed my earth, good earth for our boy to lie in
In the summer I worked the land
She walked like she still held his hand
And I swear to God I saw her once of trace a'smiling.
In the autumn, my gold wheat swaying,
I cut her down from where she was swinging
She said: Goddamn you, Jim, up there I could hear him laughing

Think it's pretty self explanatory... kid dies, wife's grief stricken, tries to hang herself and then curses him for saving her as she doesn't want to live any more.

I didn't quite get the hanging herself part until xdvr mentioned it. Holy hell that makes this so much more powerful.

Winter passed without a glance Took our only boy last She cried and Gods arms were a blind and breathing ocean
Blooming spring brought all I need Warmth and rain for me to seed My earth, good earth for our boy to lie in
In the summer I work my land She walks like she still held his hand And I swear to god I caught her once or twice a'smiling
In the autumn, gold wheat swang I cut her down from where she was swinging She said 'Goddamn you, Jim. Up there I could hear him laughing'
