craig johnson (folk) - piney mountains lyrics

sit down buddy we’ll drink and smoke
oh woman don’t you weep for me
my hands can’t fiddle and my heart’s been broke
you d+mned old piney mountains
i lost my fingers in the galax mills
oh buddy sing a sad old song
and my heart got broke in the yew pine hills
lord and my time ain’t long

i started into loggin’ when i’s in my prime
oh woman don’t you weep for me
hitchin’ up the spruce to the big drag lines
you d+mned old piney mountains
where the skidders start a+buckin’ as the gears come down
oh buddy sing a sad old song
makin’ god’s own thunder on the new+cut ground
lord and my time ain’t long

we was fightin’ over nothin’ and drinkin’ too hard
woman don’t you weep for me
ridin’ up to camp on the flat+wheel car
you d+mned old piney mountains
thirty years hangin’ on the old chain brake
oh buddy sing a sad old song
paid off and laid off in ’58
lord and my time ain’t long
and the skidders got sold to a scr+p iron yard
oh woman don’t you weep for me
i moved down virginia when the times got hard
you d+mned old piney mountains
lost my fingers to a steel band saw
oh buddy sing a sad old song
and my fiddle just hangs untuned on the wall
lord and my time ain’t long

and the trees have growed up on the logging road
oh woman don’t you weep for me
and the wildflowers bloom where the big shays blowed
you d+mned old piney mountains
there’s nothin’ left for me but to drink and smoke
oh buddy sing a sad old song
my hands can’t fiddle and my heart’s been broke
lord and my time ain’t long
