High On A Mountain Where The Sun Still Shines
And The Water Runs A Little Lazy
Wild-eyed And Lonely, Running Out Of Time
Some Will Say I Died Half-crazy

One Time A Hustler Took Me For A Ride
All Because I Tried To Deceive Her
She Broke Me Down And Laughed And Left Me Weak Inside
The More I Lost My Pride, The More It Pleased Her

Carry Me 'cross The Water,
I've Been Over There Once Before
Stayed With A Poor Man's Daughter
I Can't Live In This Country No More

Death Beds And Ragged Threads Are My Last Home
Someone Should Have Known Of My Ending
Born Bad, I Killed A Man For Sympathy
Ain't Much Left Of Me Worth Defending

Carry Me 'cross The Water,
I've Been Over There Once Before
And I Stayed With A Poor Man's Daughter
I Can't Live In This Country No More
