lyrics

HEY HEY
I'M GOIN' WAY TO STAY
SHE WRANG HER HANDS AND CRYED
I'M STATION BOUND
I LEAVE TONIGHT
JUST WHERE I CAN NOT SAY

SHAME SHAME
ON THOSE WHO HAVE LIED
I NOW HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOME

LEAVE MOTHER
LEAVE DADDY
LEAVE SISTER TOO
MY GOOD GAL AND
MY WIFE

BLAME BLAME
FOR A MAN WHO HAS DIED
THEY SAY
THEY SAY I SHOT HIM DOWN
BUT I NEVER SAW HIM
NEVER SAW HIM IN MY LIFE
NOW I HAVE TO LEAVE MY HOME

LAY LAY
THEY PLACED THE BURDEN DOWN
ON ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
WHAT WILL BECOME OF POOR ME
SO SO FAR FROM HOME

IF I SHOULD STAY THEY TAKE ME AWAY
TO DIE ON THE COUNTY FARM
IF I SHOULD STAY THE TAKE ME TO STAY
IN A PINE BOX IN THE GROUND

about

Swampcandy Annapolis, Maryland

Swampcandy is pig drinkin’, whiskey eatin’, foot clapping’, hand stompin’, American music. Fermented in primitive blues, pre war folk sounds, field hollers, gypsy jazz, and ragtime. Steeped in influences from Robert Johnson to Radiohead. Their sound is distilled in a boiler of mercurial energy that swirls with tempo changes and dynamic peaks and valleys, holding the ear and refusing to let go. ... more
