Biscuits And Butter
Quelle: Spotify
Daniel said traveling risky
But the money awful good
When I get back we can finally
Get ahead sure we could
He left the fifth of December
Took our oldest boy Ben
I packed them biscuits and butter,
And never saw them again
[Chorus]
How can I keep on walking,
God Almighty tells me this
One foot in front of the other,
One foot in front of the next
I sent my second oldest baby
Out to find his next of kin
They found the wagon in the springtime
Up on the Killbuck River edge
He was quieter than his brother,
And his brother's his closest friend
I packed him biscuits and butter,
And never saw him again
[Chorus]
They found the bones of our team of oxen,
The shirt I'd sewn with my own hands
They found the basket I'd pack the biscuits,
But not a trace of my men
I think I'll go down to the river
I think I'll take up throwing stones
I think I'll cry until I'm finished
And I learn to sleep alone
[Chorus]
I think I'll go down to the river
I think I'll take up throwing stones
I'll never make another biscuit
