The Poor Ditching Boy
G
Was there ever a winter so cold and so sad
C
The river too weary to flood
G
The storming wind cut through to my skin
C D G
But she cut through to my blood
I was looking for trouble to tangle my line
But trouble came looking for me
I knew I was standing on treacherous ground
I was sinking too fast to run free
Chorus:
C Am G D
With her scheming, idle ways
C Am G
She left me poor enough
The storming wind cut through to my skin
C D G
But she cut through to my blood
I would not be asking, I would not be seen
A-beggin� on mountain or hill
But I�m ready and blind with my hands tied behind
I�ve neither a mind nor a will
Chorus
It�s bitter the need of the poor ditching boy
He�ll always believe what they say
They tell him it�s hard to be honest and true
Does he mind if he doesn�t get paid?
Chorus
