Sometimes In This Country - Crooked Still

Sometimes I’m in this country

Sometimes I’m in this town

Sometimes a thought comes to my mind

That I, myself will drown

But the cold streams of water

My body can’t receive

I’m going to some strange country

My darling for to leave

The night seems long and weary, son

Almost the break of day

The night seems long and weary, son

Almost the break of day

I’m listening for your answer

Tell me what to say

I’m listening for your answer

At the dawning of the day

I’ll take you for your answer

And for myself abide

I’ll take you for your answer

And for myself abide

You say you’ve got a new sweetheart

And I’m laid aside

Farewell, false-hearted lover

I’m young, the world is wide

I’m young, the world is wide

(The world is wide)

Sometimes I’m in this country

Sometimes I’m in this town

Sometimes a thought comes to my mind

That I, myself will drown

But the cold streams of water

My body can’t receive

I’m going to some strange country

My darling for to leave
