sam riggs - angola's lament lyrics
[verse 1]
angola ain’t no place to be
it’s for the lost who once were free
fields of fear stretched far and wide
and razor wire goes to the sky
and i make my round to the fields all day
while the prisoners work their sins away
shotgun perched upon my leg
on sixteen hands on a thorough bred
[chorus]
and they sing ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
devil holds the key
there ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
but to get down on your knees
[verse 2]
desperation in a troubled man
spreads like poison in this land
i’ve seen it all from this saddle son
yeah god rest you’re soul if you try to run
oh now ash to ash and dust to dust
you’re here because yer dreams went bust
just put that pick axe in the ground
keep on moanin’ that lonesome sound
[chorus]
there ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
devil holds the key
there ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
but to get down on your knees
[verse 3]
when the cold wind blew through that old screen door
you didn’t hear their screams no more
blood on the walls and across the floor
lord, what did ya do
you drug ‘em down to that old oak tree
dug a hole ‘neath the tire swing
wiped a tear threw in the ring
and a sawed off shotgun too
and you let ‘em down in the cold hard ground
side by side the way you found ‘em
fallin’ rain didn’t make a sound
and that’s when you knew
[chorus]
there ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
devil holds the key
there ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
ain’t no way to mend a broken heart
but to get down on your knees
