Intro: In the winter when the streams are frozen In the winter when the birds don't sing That's when I lost my home, When I lost everything Kept a-walking till my feet were bloody Left everything we knew When they took us cross the Mississipi, Nothing that I could do Cry, cry, Cry, cry Keep a-pushin on until the ocean Dancing like a man in chains 'Till you wind up where the sod is hard Here where you lose your name Same people said that I was godless Same people showed me how to pray Same people with a pen or rifle Same people took it all away Cry, cry, Cry, cry One more mile, (hammer on the low E string on the third fret) One more night, One thousand lies Won't make it right Cry, cry.. One more mile, One more night, One thousand lies (hammer on twice in the second string) Won't make it right In the winter when the streams are frozen In the winter when the birds don't sing That's when I lost my home, When I lost everything Cry, cry, Cry, cry
