Tom Russell - The Road It Gives, the Road It Takes Away lyrics
I was walking down a quiet road in Ireland Out beneath those tough old ancient stars When I thought I heard old Scottish Mike singing “Carrickfergus” As I recalled those wild days in those loud Norwegian bars He'd sing, "I'm drunk today and I'm rarely sober”, Like a soldier on the road to Mandalay. Well the road it gave him wine and the women fair and fine He drunk himself to death, I heard today Chorus: But we'll sing hallelujah, sing it in the morning And thank the Lord for giving us one more day And for the one's who’ve passed on through We'll sing this one for you The road it gives and the road it takes away My baby said she didn't mind me travelin' She enjoyed the time alone when I was gone ‘til she looked me in the eyes and said, “It's over”, And I saw the anger buried far too long I picked up my guitar and sang “The Dutchman” About two people whose love had seen kinder days But my baby she was gone, Before the song was sung Well my music never touched her anyway Chorus And for the one's who’ve passed on through We'll sing this one for you The road it gives and the road it takes away |
