Elizabeth's Death
And just when you thought you were happy
Elizabeth is down at the general store
Buying some butter, bread, and beans
Elizabeth and I ain't always seen eye to eye
But at least we both love our beer
And Timmy's been acting like he's too good for the farm
Too good for me and Lizzy too
He stopped drinking corn liquor started sniffin' cocaine
And left for the city with Mary Sue
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
It's been ten long years since Timmy left us here
In these green mountain hills we will die
Me and Elizabeth grew poor and needed more
Money to just get by
So we brewed some moonshine, we stole some red wine
From those McCalls and their wealthy friends
We sold it and shared it, in the pubs we declared it
Us hill boys would never give in
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
One cold lonesome night there was a bloody gunfight
'Tween the hill boys and the McCalls
Elizabeth died with a bullet in her side
We were wanted for stealing alcohol
Then those scumbag McCalls put some paint on our walls
Elizabeth lay still on the floor
They broke my right arm, they burned down the farm
And said boy don't you steal any more
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Do I stay in this town with Lizzy in the ground
Drowning in a puddle of rum
Or do I find Timmy in the city to the south
And leave my dear Lizzy for good
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth is down at the general store
Buying some butter, bread, and beans
Elizabeth and I ain't always seen eye to eye
But at least we both love our beer
And Timmy's been acting like he's too good for the farm
Too good for me and Lizzy too
He stopped drinking corn liquor started sniffin' cocaine
And left for the city with Mary Sue
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
It's been ten long years since Timmy left us here
In these green mountain hills we will die
Me and Elizabeth grew poor and needed more
Money to just get by
So we brewed some moonshine, we stole some red wine

Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul

Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Why do I stand here, wondering where to go
Why has the joy left my life, Lizzy's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
Elizabeth's death crushed my soul
