jeffrey foucault - doubletree lyrics
the snow falls on the p-sses
and it covers up the rails
and the hired men ride up to make them clean
it’s a winter camp and a frozen damp
and a shovel in your hand
and a coal train comes rumbling through the seam
that morning came up shining
clear and sharp as broken gl-ss
we were riding for the tracks at sugaree
all holler and high spirit
and the devil take the last
and henry lay a wager then to me
he said “i’ve got five dollars
and a whiskey at the bar
says i make the tracks ahead of you”
so we touched our horses up
sent them running down the hill
and i did something i never meant to do
well i cut hard behind him
from his blind side i come around
just as we were going down the scree
i only meant to scare him but he tumbled to the ground
and he broke his neck beneath the doubletree
so you take him cut him out in a length of pine
lay him out in a suit of clothes
best that you can find
lay his body gentle in the ground
and say a prayer for henry
before you lay him down
the night before poor henry died
we slept on open ground
the circus of the stars a blaze of white
henry was the best friend that i ever had
and i slept still as a child that night
