George III (Philip George Music, BMI) LYRICS Well my name is Darwin Lyin And I work on the Grand Trunk line Movin’ lumber down at the Muir Station Keeping all of the engines on time I work for Mr. Blanchard Though I never met the man I take his honest wages And I come home with two tired hands And it looks like it's raining For the third time today And I pray it keeps coming down Till’ the river Takes me away She was standing on the platform With a postcard in her hand Even though my shy heart was racing I inquired did she have a man She looked down at the walkway And the wind danced in her hair She told me she was a widow As she whispered a silent prayer And it looks like it's raining For the third time today And I pray it keeps coming down Till the river Takes me away I would court her through the autumn Till’ finally she would agree We were married down on the Maple River Neath’ the shade of the old redbud tree Most days I spent at the parlor And the drink got the best part of me Till’ I stumbled alone to the home that we made Just to find she decided to leave Now I lay here in this gutter While the poison rushes my veins And I curse this god forsaken fever That could drive any poor man insane And it looks like it's raining For the third time today And I pray it keeps coming down Till the river Takes me away Performed by Billy Strings: Vocals, Guitar, Harmonium Royal Masat: Bass Bryan Sutton: Guitar Daniel Tashian: Guitar, Backing Vocals Lindsay Lou: Backing Vocals PJ George III: Harmonium See you on tour! www.billystrings.com/tour Exclusive Merch - https://found.ee/StringsWebStore Follow Billy Strings on Social Media: Instagram – https://found.ee/StringsIG Facebook – https://found.ee/StringsFB Twitter – https://found.ee/StringsTW Youtube – https://found.ee/StringsYT BandsInTown – https://found.ee/StringsBIT #BillyStrings #guitar #bluegrass
