The Ship - Mr. Morgan lyrics

I worked for Johnny Morgan on that Carson Valley plain Where the sun was always shining, and we never caught much rain Just the pain of that hot sun beating down on me I worked there in his fields till I thought my back would break You don't stop your working; it would be one big mistake For the man comes around, and he docks you for your pay You can buy my body, Mr. Morgan You have bought many, I've been told You can buy my body, Mr. Morgan But you will never, never buy my soul Well, I met Miss Sally Goodwin on a ride on into town She could roll like thunder and drink her whiskey down Never fall for a hard-working clown like me You can buy my body, Mr. Morgan You have bought many, I've been told You can buy my body, Mr. Morgan But you will never, never buy my soul Well, I worked for Johnny Morgan on that Carson Valley plain Where the sun was always shining, and we never caught much rain Just the pain of that hot sun beating down on me You can buy my body, Mr. Morgan You have bought many, I've been told You can buy my body, Mr. Morgan But you will never, never buy my soul And you will never, never buy my soul
