ben nichols - the swamper's lament lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well, i’ve hauled timber from these woods
since i was twelve years old
now i’m turning twenty+one
sittin’ on death row
she was the foreman’s daughter fair
engaged to big jim stone
her name was little ida belle
and i wanted her for my own

[chorus]
i was a swamper riding virgin pine
from deep in the forest to the railroad line

[verse 2]
ida belle let out a scream
one morning just after dawn
when i pushed jim in the bandsaw mill
the big man, hе was gone
i professed my lovе to ida belle
but she was having none
and now i pay the price today
for the loving things i’ve done

[chorus]
i was a swamper riding virgin pine
from deep in the forest to the railroad line
[chorus]
i was a swamper riding virgin pine
from deep in the forest to the railroad line
