james mcmurtry – deaver’s crossing lyrics
[verse 1]
he walked the road with his back all bent
ever since the accident
leanin’ on his walking cane
he kept walkin’ just the same
[chorus]
deaver’s gone from the crossin’
no one now keeps the ford
from the banks of jeremiah’s run
off into the setting sun
[verse 2]
he was there through the darkest night
the gypsy moth and the chestnut blight
the market crash and the teapot dome
he was there when the boys came home
[chorus]
deaver’s gone from the crossin’
no one now keeps the ford
from the banks of jeremiah’s run
off into the setting sun
[verse 3]
he was there when uncle sam
took away the neighbors’ land
to make that shenandoah park
the woods got thick and the woods got dark
[bridge]
start walkin’ back towards town
retrace your steps as you go
keep walkin’, watch the ground
it’s there somewhere i know
[verse 4]
deaver’s gone, mrs. deaver too
finer folk you never knew
with smiles for all you p-ssers-by
and in the churchyard now they lie
[verse 5]
so, when you fish that march brown hatch
won’t you share your morning’s catch
with those whose ground you walked across
may their memory be not lost
[chorus]
deaver’s gone from the crossin’
no one now keeps the ford
from the banks of jeremiah’s run
off into the setting sun
