ice on the timber - the po’ ramblin' boys lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
thirty*nine was a bad year in these mountains
daddy tried to do the best he could
he worked hard in the mountain timber
but the ice was old and he couldn’t get the wood

winter came and it was a bad one
the freeze and the north wind did blow
thirty*eight days the ice was on the timber
they were the last days my family would know
ohh lord, it was cold

[verse 2]
daddy’s mood, it seemed to be a*changing
he would cry and mama would pray
lord melt the ice so we can work the timber
we can’t hold out long this way

sunday morning daddy callеd me to him
take the mulе and ride away from here
we need help to make it off this mountain
we held hands and mama led in prayer

[chorus]
i wonder what was in daddy’s mind
on that cold winter night of thirty*nine
cabin fever was to blame
or so that’s what they claim
ohh lord, it was cold
[verse 3]
i got home, it was just before midnight
the moon was bright and everything was still
i walked through the front door of our cabin
what i saw still makes me chill

saw my brothers and sisters on the cold floor
mama lying there across the bed
daddy sittin’ there with his eyes wide open
they were cold, they were stiff, they were dead
ohh lord, it was cold

[chorus]
i wonder what was in daddy’s mind
on that cold winter night of thirty*nine
cabin fever was to blame
or so that’s what they claim
ohh lord, it was cold
ohh lord, it was cold
