I don't know why Devil's mountain Hanging on by a rope Burning fever Hard travellin' Sweet shelter come home Chorus: You've got somebody You've got somebody You've got somebody Watching over you Desert roses Far from water Raise a gla** to your throat Come on you poor boys From the country This is a power to behold Three ravens rising Two rivers raging Less fair deal down the road
Late is the hour Red is the colour Lord have mercy on your soul Chorus So in the morning Wait for your darling You know she's waiting for you On the boat Comes in slowly Bringing Spanish wine for you So while you're dreaming And hard travellin' As you labour for this land Swear on your vision Of this nation Say a prayer for the damned Chorus
