lyrics

...if there's water in the plains
and there's gold up in the hills
I'd roll the dice for fortune
leave my family my will

if today is the mountain
and tomorrow is the sky
I'd hope there's room in Heaven
for a sickly soul like mine

well, I see the others working
see their buckets filling up
I look at mine so empty
and I haven't seen enough

and I hear a storm a-comin'
hear it rollin' through the hills
and as I'm slipping down the mountain
I'm thinking of that will

if my ankle is broken
and I'd never get found
may God lift me up
from this long forsaken ground

if there's anybody out there
who can hear my tired plea
I would rather be a beggar
than a body in the leaves...
