Lady May

(专辑： Acoustic Covers - 2021)

I'm a stone's throw from the mill
And I'm a good walk to the river
My working day is over
We'll go swim our cares away

Put your toes down in the water
And a smile across your face
And tell me that you love me
Lovely Lady May

Now I ain't the sharpest chisel
That your hands have ever held
But darling I could love you well
'Til the roll is called on high

I've seen my share of trouble
And I've held my weight in shame
But I'm baptized in your name
Lovely Lady May

Lord, the wind can leave you shivering
As it waltzes or it leaves
It's been rushing through my timber
'Til your love brought on the spring

Now the mountains all are blushing
And they don't know what to say
'Cept a good long line of praises
For my lovely Lady May

Now I ain't the toughest hickory
That your ax has ever felled
But I'm a hickory just as well
I'm a hickory all the same

I came crashing through the forest
As you cut my roots away
And I fell a good long ways
For my lovely Lady May
