Can't Go On

Working along the muddy banks and we don’t much pay
How do you put a dollar sign on the end of a working man’s day?
Can’t go on living this old way
You wake in the morning ‘bout 5 o’clock, you got them shackles on
Sun goes down and evening comes you know that you’d be gone
Can’t go on living this old way
I’ve been waiting on the midnight
I’ve been waiting on the starlight
I’ve been waiting for a long while
Just to walk that mile
If you’re going up the river
Won’t you bring me with you
Gonna make our way cross
Where the water’s cool
On the road and on the run, hiding from the law
Folks you pass all through and through don’t know what they just saw
Can’t go on living this old way
Well, sleep all day, run all night, looking for the line
When Mason comes and Dixies goes, you don’t know what you’ll find
Can’t go on living this old way
I’ve been waiting on the midnight
I’ve been waiting on the starlight
I’ve been waiting for a long while
Just to walk that mile
I’ve been waiting on the midnight
I’ve been waiting on the starlight
I’ve been waiting for a long while
Just to walk that mile
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet soft and low
I’ve been running everywhere but home

White Cedar

Well I hope you don’t have a mind to follow my lead
It’ll leave you in circles or at best to the white cedar trees
Now I’ve been a’rambling both feet and mind
But I never got very far
Obligation and worry never suited me well
I’ll leave it all up to the stars
Whoa-oh
When I was young I was innocent, the mind of a child
Some they may say nothing’s changed
Well I hope they’re not right and I know I’m not wrong
That the past can still be rearranged
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
So if I gave you my word and I took all my time
Would it mean all that much to you now
Now I’ve been a’rambling my shoes and my tongue
And pulling the sweat from my brow
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh

Corn shucking in the morning
Working late in the evening
I’ve been saving just to buy a little place
On the edge of town where the rats don’t race
On the edge of town where the rats don’t race
I’ll bake my bread and bag my beans
Homemade wine ain’t as hard as it seems
Well water’s free and there ain’t no price
To a starlit sky on a saturday night
Well water’s free and there ain’t no price
To a starlit sky on a saturday night
Well water’s free, you won’t pay
For a sunny road on a summer day
So take my money and cut the cards
And leave the gambling men to drown in the bars
I can hear my dad as he used to say
There ain’t an honest man without honest pay
Ain’t no honest man without honest pay
Well it’s a pity and it’s a shame
When we trade our time for capital gain
Don’t forget that the corn don’t mind
If you can’t quite pay your rent on time
Don’t forget that the corn don’t mind
If you can’t quite pay your rent on time
Don’t forget that the corn don’t care
If you’re short on your rent or your trolley fare
