Poor Ditching Boy - Richard Thompson[00:00:01]
Written by:Richard Thompson[00:00:10]
Was there ever a winter so cold and so sad[00:00:13]
The river too weary to flood[00:00:19]
The storming wind cut through to my skin[00:00:25]
But she cut through to my blood[00:00:30]
I was looking for trouble to tangle my line[00:00:38]
But trouble came looking for me[00:00:44]
I knew I was standing on treacherous ground[00:00:49]
I was sinking too fast to run free[00:00:54]
With her scheming idle ways[00:00:59]
She left me poor enough[00:01:05]
The storming wind cut through to my skin[00:01:11]
But she cut through to my blood[00:01:16]
I would not be asking I would not be seen[00:01:22]
A beggin on mountain or hill[00:01:28]
But I'm ready and blind with my[00:01:32]
Hands tied behind[00:01:36]
I've neither a mind nor a will[00:01:38]
With her scheming idle ways[00:01:43]
She left me poor enough[00:01:50]
The storming wind cut through to my skin[00:01:55]
But she cut through to my blood[00:02:01]
It's bitter the need of the poor ditching boy[00:02:09]
He'll always believe what they say[00:02:15]
They tell him it's hard to be honest and true[00:02:20]
Does he mind if he doesn't get paid[00:02:25]
With her scheming idle ways[00:02:30]
She left me poor enough[00:02:37]
The storming wind cut through to my skin[00:02:42]
But she cut through to my blood[00:02:47]
