The Smoky Mt. Lament Lyrics

Oh Lord
Lord, a poor mountain boy
Was buried today
Buried today

So young
Just a poor woman's son
They carried away
So far away

One fight
For the rest of my life
I'll live with the pain
Live with the pain

One child
Sacrificed to a cause
That I can't explain
No I can't explain

The Smoky Mountain rain
Comin' down
Feels so coldThe Brandos - The Smoky Mt. Lament - http://motolyrics.com/the-brandos/the-smoky-mt-lament-lyrics.html
Our blood is in the fields
My boy is here no more
Oh Lord

Don't cry
I’ll be home by and by
I heard him say
He did say

So sure
That the dangers in store
Were all just a game
All just a game
I heard
In his last dyin’ words
He called out my name
Called my name

Oh Lord
Can't your mercy afford
A poor boy be saved
One boy be saved
