well well well
so i can die easy
well well well
so i can die young
well well well

gospel plow
mary wore three links of chain
every chain was Jesus name
keep you hand on that plow
hold on
hold on
hold on
keep your hand of that plow and hold on
mary mark and luke and john
all them prophets dead and gone
keep you hand on that plow
hold on
hold on
hold on
keep your hand of that plow and hold on
ain't never been to heaven but I been told
the streets up there are lined with gold
keep you hand on that plow
hold on
hold on
hold on
keep your hand of that plow and hold on
who's that yonder dressed in red
must be the children moses led
keep you hand on that plow
hold on
hold on
hold on
keep your hand of that plow and hold on

bobcaygeon
I left your house this morning about a quarter after nine
coulda been the Willie Nelson, coulda been the wine
when I left your house this morning
it was a little after nine
it was in Bobcaygeon I saw the constellations
reveal themselves one star at a time
drove back to town this morning with working on my mind
I thought of maybe quitting
thought of leaving it behind
went back to bed this morning
and as I'm pulling down the blind
the sky was dull and hypothetical
and falling one cloud at a time
that night in Toronto with its checkerboard floors
riding on horseback and keeping order restored
til the men they couldn't hang
stepped to the mic and sang
and their voices rang with that Aryan twang
I got to your house this morning just a little after nine
in the middle of that riot
couldn't get you off my mind
so I'm at your house this morning
just a little after nine
cause it was in Bobcaygeon where I saw the constellations
reveal themselves one star at a time.

in the pines
the longest train I ever done seen
came down the Georgia Line.
the engine passed at five o'clock,
the cab passed by at nine.
it took my love away from me,
way down to Brown's coal mine.
when i sit and watch that train go past
i hang my head and cry
black girl, black girl don't you lie to me
tell me, where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
and shivered the whole night through.
the train run off the track last night,
my love has not been seen.
ain't none who on that train that night
who heard my love Corrine.
black girl, black girl don't you lie to me
tell me, where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
and shivered the whole night through.
little girl, little girl, what have i done
that makes you treat me this way?
you caused me to weep and you caused me to moan,
you made me leave my home.
black girl, black girl don't you lie to me
tell me, where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
and shivered the whole night through.
black girl, black girl don't you lie to me
tell me, where did you sleep last night?
in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
and shivered the whole night through.

long may you run

long may you run
we've been through
some things together
with trunks of memories
still to come
we found things to do
in stormy weather
long may you run
long may you run
long may you run
although these changes have come
with your chrome heart shining
in the sun
long may you run
well, it was
back in Blind River in 1962
when I last saw you alive
but we missed that shift
on the long decline
long may you run
long may you run
long may you run
although these changes have come
with your chrome heart shining
in the sun
long may you run
maybe The Beach Boys
have got you now
with those waves
singing Caroline No
rollin' down
that empty ocean road
gettin' to the surf on time
long may you run
long may you run
long may you run
although these changes have come
with your chrome heart shining
in the sun
long may you run
