The sheriff caught up to him and Gplaced him under arDrest
[Verse 3]
Hiram Hubbard was not guilty, I heard a great Gman, he Dsaid

He was not in this country, he was sixteen Gmiles aDway
[Verse 4]
They lead him up the holler, they lead him Gup the Dhill
They lead him up the holler, they lead him Gup the Dhill
To a place of execution where he sat to Gwrite his Dwill
[Verse 5]
They wound the cords around him, they bound him Gto a Dtree
They wound the cords around him, they bound him Gto a Dtree
Nine shots ran through him and he died most GbitterDly

Track 6 - The Housewife's Lament
[Intro]
G C G D G C G D
[Verse 1]
Last Gnight in my dreams I was Cstationed forGever
On a Emfar little rock in the Dmidst of the Gsea
My one chance at life was a Cceaseless enGdeavour
To Emsweep off the waves as they Dswept over Gme
[Chorus]
Oh, life is a toil and Clove is Gtrouble
Beauty will fade and Driches will Gflee
Pleasures may dwindle and Cprices they Gdouble
And nothing is as Dnothing should Gbe C G D
[Verse 2]
There's Gtoo much of worriment that Cgoes to the Gbonnet
There's Emtoo much of ironing that Dgoes to the Gshirt
There's nothing that pays for the Ctime you waste Gon it
There's Emnothing that lasts but the Dtrouble and Gdirt
[Chorus]
Oh, life is a toil and Clove is Gtrouble
Beauty will fade and Driches will Gflee
Pleasures may dwindle and Cprices they Gdouble
And nothing is as Dnothing should Gbe C G D
[Instrumental]
G C G Em D G C G Em D G
[Bridge]
In EmMarch it's the mud, it's the Dslush in December
The Cmidsummer breezes are A7loaded with Ddust
In Gfall the leaves litter, a Dmuddy September
The Emwallpaper rots and the Dcandlesticks Grust
[Chorus]
Oh, life N.C.is a toil and love is trouble
Beauty will fade and riches will flee
GPleasures may dwindle and Cprices they Gdouble
And nothing is as Dnothing should Gbe
[Chorus]
Oh, life is a toil and Clove is Gtrouble
Beauty will fade and Driches will Gflee
Pleasures may dwindle and Cprices they Gdouble
And nothing is as Dnothing should Gbe
Nothing is as Dnothing should Gbe

Track 7 - Pretty Saro
## NOTE: This song is sung a Capella, there are no chords to this version ##
[Verse 1]
Down in some lone valley, in some lone place
Where the wild birds eschew us all and notes to increase
Farewell pretty Saro, I'll bid you adieu
And think of you often wherever I go
[Verse 2]
Your parents don't like me, so I understand
They want a freeholder who has him some land
I cannot maintain you with silver and gold
Nor buy you the fine things a big house can hold
[Verse 3]
If I were a merchant or could write a fine hand
I'd write you a letter that you'd understand
I'll follow this river wherever it flows
And think of you often wherever I go
And think of pretty Saro wherever I go
==================================================================

A Ccoach and sixG little hoFrses
[Verse 2]
AmWay down yonder, Gin the meadow
A Fpoor boy is crAmying

You Fcan't save the dAmying
[Chorus]
CBlacks and bays, Fdapples and greys
CAll the Gpretty little Fhorses
CRoans and duns, Fchestnut ones

Track 9 - Come All You Young And Tender Ladies
[Verse 1]
Come all you Gyoung and tender Cladies
Take warning how you court yGoung men
They're like a star on a summer's Cmorning
They'll first apGpear and then they're gone
[Verse 2]
If I'd a known before I Ccourted
That love was such a cruel Gthing
I'd have locked my heart in a box of Cgolden
And fastened it Gup with a silver Cchain
