peter mills - never afeard again lyrics

i wouldn’t wish on no one such a father
the terror of 11 counties ’round
and i’m the only kinfolk that was left
he hadn’t driven far afield
or buried in the ground
and then 1 day there’s a widder
old and wrinkled as a walnut
comes apuffin’ and aclimbin’ up our hill
and though with 50 acres in possession
so’s my father had a thought
to make me wed against my will
but for the 1st time
i wasn’t scared of him
for the 1st time
i took a stand
and in that moment
i felt a courage wellin’ up within my heart
and a power in my hand
all my days i’ve been a coward
but the change came there and then
from that day forward
i swore i’d be
never afeard again
i laid my bl++dy shovel in the corn stalks
and turned my face towards the settin’ sun
i took my foot and hand
and since this tuesday was a week
i’d been an outcast
on the run
oh it’s lonesome seein’ porch lights
and the cabins on the hillside
shining out like tiny pinpoints in the dark
and there’s nothin’ breaks the silence
but your foot falls on the gravel of the railbed
and the distant dogs that bark
but for the 1st time i wasn’t scared of him
walkin’ friendless through the [?]
and for the 1st time
i wasn’t runnin’ away
’cause in a way
i was runnin’ home
all my days seems i’ve been hidin’
from the man i should’ve been
with each step onward
i swore i’d be never afeard again
and i ain’t never felt before
the kind of strength
i’m feelin’ now
now to be here tellin’ you my story
and see kindness shinin’ in your brow
oh whatever brought me to your door
was like an angel’s clarion call
’cause i never felt so brave
with you i ain’t
afeard at all
