Sold my baby, to the old slow river
Got the cold blue shiver,
You take care of her.
Came to get her
But she don't remember
All the tear-stained letters,
You be good to her.

and the roads will close
and you finally will walk
and then one by one the leaves will break.

I won the best fucking bet in town,
I told my girl that I been sleeping around.
I couldn't see her,
but I met her in the dark with her
clothes hung loose
so I piled them on the floor.

I was a ghost of a lover to you,
I let you make up all this shit
that was never true
I couldn't see you so I left you in the dark.
I was sick with you (x4)
finger picking sorts itself out towards the end - just listen to recording.
once you get the timing right this piece rules - one of the main reasons i am going
my horrid des ark phase at the moment. hope it goes okay!
