Black Sky

(HARP & GUITAR INTRO)
 well I sure take it with me wherever I go
 and you might like to see it but it never does show
 like a wind in the valley that never does blow
 like the grass in the back that you never did mow
 it's a black sky formin' on the ridge
 it's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
 it's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
 it's everything you do and nothin' that you did
 (HARP & GUITAR DITTY)
 well you might see me drivin' in the wrong side of town
 and you might see me shinin' when the rain's comin' down
 like a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and found
 like a coon that's runnin' from a red bone hound
 it's a black sky formin' on the ridge
 it's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
 it's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
 it's everything you do and nothin' that you did
 (HARP & GUITAR DITTY)
 well the wood keeps burnin' in the old wood stove
 and the cows keep goin' where they done been drove
 and a light keeps glowin' in a dead man's cove
 and a loom keeps spinnin' where the weave gets wove
 it's a black sky formin' on the ridge
 it's a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
 it's the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
 it's everything you do and nothin' that you did
