"Rock Salt and Nails"
org. Utah Philips
From: Folk Singer Vol. 1
Capo V
Intro:
C F C
COn the banks of the riverF where the willows hang dCown
And wild birds all wAmarble Fwith a low moaninCg sound
Way down in the Amhollow Fwhere the water runs Ccold
That's where I first Flistened to the lies that youC told
CNow I lie on my bed Fand I see your sweet Cface
The past I remAmember timeF cannot Cerase
The letter you Amwrote me Fit was written in Cshame
And I know that yourF conscience still echo's mCy name
CNow the nights are soF long, and sorrow runs dCeep
And nothing is woAmrse thanF a night without sCleep
I'll walk out aAmlone, I Flook at the sCky
Too empty to sFing, too lonesome to Ccry
CSo if you ladies were Fblackbirds, if you ladies wereC thrushes
I'd lie there for hAmours inF the cold chilly Cmarshes
If you ladies were sAmquirrel'sF with high bushyC tails
I'd fill up my sFhotgun with rock salt andC nails
