Nettie Moore

Lost John sitting on a railroad track

Something's out of whack

Blues this morning falling down like hell

Gonna leave a greasy trail

I'm gonna travel the world is what I'm gonna do

Then come back to you

All I ever do is a struggle and a strife

I hope I make it back home alive

Oh, I miss you Nettie Moore

And my happiness is o'er

Winter's gone, the river's on the rise

I loved you then and never shall

But there's no one left to tell

And the world has grown dark before my eyes

I'm the oldest son of a crazy man

I'm in a cowboy band

Got sins to pay for I cannot hide

I'd walk through fire to be by your side

Oh, the bright spark of the steady lights

Has dimmed my sights

When you're with me all my grief gives way

It's like a heavenly day

Oh, I miss you Nettie Moore

And my happiness is o'er

Winter's gone, the river's on the rise

I loved you then and never shall

But there's no one left to tell

And the world has grown dark before my eyes

Everything I know that's right is wrong

I'm a-drifting along

The woman I love, she rules my heart

You'll never cut our love apart

Oh, I miss you Nettie Moore

And my happiness is o'er

Winter's gone, the river's on the rise

I loved you then and never shall

But there's no one left to tell

And the world has grown dark before my eyes

Oh, the world has grown dark before my eyes
