lyrics

Poor Ditching Boy
Written by Richard Thompson

Was there ever a winter so cold and so sad
The river too weary to flood
The storming wind cut through to my skin
But she cut through to my blood

CH:
With her scheming, idle ways
She left my poor enough
The storming wind cut through to my skin
But she cut through to my blood

Chorus

I was looking for trouble to tangle my line
But trouble came lookin’ for me
I knew I was standing on treacherous ground
And sinkin’ too fast to run free

Chorus

I would not be askin’ I would not be seen
Beggin’ on mountain or hill
I was ready and blind with my hands tied behind
With neither a mind nor a will

Chorus
