The East Colorado Dam - Sammy Walker[00:00:00]
This shack is falling' in[00:00:16]
And your wrists are getting thin[00:00:18]
Sweetheart you don't deserve the kind of life[00:00:21]
I've put you in[00:00:24]
But it's hard to a draw a pay[00:00:27]
When my papers always say[00:00:30]
That I took a loaf of bread[00:00:33]
From the grocery store one day[00:00:35]
For my time behind bars[00:00:39]
You have to wear the scars[00:00:43]
When people down the road can drive[00:00:45]
Ten thousand dollar cars[00:00:48]
Oh it's a long long hard way[00:00:52]
To the east Colorado dam[00:00:54]
If I make it to St Louis[00:00:57]
I'll send you a telegram[00:01:00]
If I don't make it at all[00:01:04]
You'll know why I didn't call[00:01:07]
Just kiss the baby for me[00:01:10]
And come see my grave next fall[00:01:12]
The weathers getting warmer[00:01:25]
And the baby's coming soon[00:01:27]
I'll try to find some work[00:01:30]
That might carry us through to June[00:01:32]
But everywhere's the same[00:01:37]
When you're a man without a name[00:01:39]
They'll make you feel so useless[00:01:42]
And then wonder why you came[00:01:44]
If a soul searching beggar[00:01:48]
Is what I's meant to be[00:01:51]
I'd rather rot behind the walls[00:01:54]
Of your penintentiary[00:01:56]
So it's a long long hard way[00:02:00]
To the east Colorado dam[00:02:03]
If I make it to St Louis[00:02:06]
I'll send you a telegram[00:02:09]
If I don't make it at all[00:02:13]
You'll know why I didn't call[00:02:15]
Just kiss the baby for me[00:02:18]
And come see my grave next fall[00:02:21]
You say you love me now[00:02:33]
Like you always did before[00:02:36]
And I love you just as well[00:02:39]
But I just can't keep you down no more[00:02:41]
So I'll be leaving in the morning[00:02:45]
If the weathers bad or good[00:02:48]
And let you find a man who'll give you[00:02:50]
All the things I never could[00:02:53]
But I'll never understand[00:02:57]
As long as I live[00:03:00]
How we can talk of love thy neighbour[00:03:02]
But we can never forgive[00:03:05]
So it's a long long hard way[00:03:09]
To the east Colorado dam[00:03:12]
If I make it to St Louis[00:03:15]
I'll send you a telegram[00:03:17]
If I don't make it at all[00:03:22]
You'll know why I didn't call[00:03:24]
Just kiss the baby for me[00:03:28]
And come see my grave next fall[00:03:30]
