Mandolin Orange Turtle Dove and the Crow by Mandolin Orange

Tekst piosenki

She came along like she was hiding some deep secret
But now she’s gone and I carry on to keep it
The cow’s are grazing, boys, the fishing’s getting good
If fate’s an old woodpecker, I’m an old chunk of wood
Some mysteries we will never know
The turtle dove and the crow made a nest
We shared a line etched in stone between two years
I aim to pack my grave someday and go see her
Want to climb that ladder, Jacob won’t you hold the door
Just got to drop me a line this side of Jordan
Some mysteries we will never know
The turtle dove and the crow made a nest
She came along like she was hiding some deep secret
She saw the future, boys, and I was her ticket
The American dream suited us just fine
I’m a lay down easy in my time of dying
