Withered and Died Lyrics
This cruel country has driven me down
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
I've only sad stories to tell to this town
My dreams have withered and died
Once I was bending the tops of the trees
Kind words in my ear, kind faces to see
Then I struck up with a gal from the west
Played run and hide, played run and hide
Count one to ten and she's gone with the rest
My dreams have withered and died
Silver moon sail up and silver moon shine
On the waters so wide, waters so wide
Steal from the bed of some good friend of mine
My dreams are withered and died
If I was a butterfly, live for a day
I could be free, just blowing away
This cruel country has driven me down
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
I've only sad stories to tell to this town
My dreams have withered and died
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
I've only sad stories to tell to this town
My dreams have withered and died
Kind words in my ear, kind faces to see
Played run and hide, played run and hide
Count one to ten and she's gone with the rest
My dreams have withered and died
On the waters so wide, waters so wide
Steal from the bed of some good friend of mine
My dreams are withered and died
I could be free, just blowing away
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
I've only sad stories to tell to this town
My dreams have withered and died
