Owensboro

well, I lived in a town
way down south
by the name of Owensboro
and I worked in a mill
with the rest of the "trash"
as we're often called
as you know

well we rise up early
in the morning
and we work all day real hard
to buy our little meat and bread
buy sugar, tea, and lard

well, our children
grow up unlearned
with no time to go to school
almost before they learn to walk
they learn to spin
and to spoon

well, the folks in town
they dress so fine
and spend their money free
but they would hardly look
at a factory hand
who dresses like you or me

would you let them wear
their watches fine
let them wear their gems
and pearly strings
but when that day of judgement comes
they'll have to share
their pretty things

but when that day
of judgement comes
they'll have to share
their pretty things


Mirror lyrics:

their pretty things
they'll have to share
of judgement comes
but when that day

their pretty things
they'll have to share
but when that day of judgement comes
and pearly strings
let them wear their gems
their watches fine
would you let them wear

who dresses like you or me
at a factory hand
but they would hardly look
and spend their money free
they dress so fine
well, the folks in town

and to spoon
they learn to spin
almost before they learn to walk
with no time to go to school
grow up unlearned
well, our children

buy sugar, tea, and lard
to buy our little meat and bread
and we work all day real hard
in the morning
well we rise up early

as you know
as we're often called
with the rest of the "trash"
and I worked in a mill
by the name of Owensboro
way down south
well, I lived in a town

Popular Songs:
carry me over

disappear

ces soiră©es lă  !

bury me

apart

authority

going nowhere somehow

cowboy

steal your heart

burning clean

i could sing of your love forever

back to the cave

don't let go

essa tal de tequila

blue and alone

one last drink

que pena me das

an involtion of thorns

love's on its way

the golden rocket
