Matraca Berg - Appalachian Rain Lyrics
(matraca berg/ronnie samoset)He came into town in the early springtimeTo work with my daddy down in the minesIt was hot in the summer when he said goodbyeAnd he left me a secret I can no longer hideNow the only thing here that is welcoming meIs a cold rainy morning, and a greyhound bus seatHe just had to come back and try to explainCry for your daughter, appalachian rainMountains of sorrow, mountains of painYoull never give for my baby a nameMy familys honor took it awayCry for your daughter, appalachian rainI was washed in the blood of the river you filledNow the sound of a shotgun rings through the hillsAnd the blood of her father runs through its veinsCry for your daughter, appalachian rainMountains of sorrow, mountains of painYoull never give for my baby a nameMy familys honor took it awayCry for your daughter, appalachian rainTears in the hollow, tears of my shameCry for your daughter, appalachian rain
