Back by Fall Lyrics by Maria Muldaur

Sweet Harmony

0

There's cryin' in the city
All the people are sayin'
I heard it on the mountain
Where I was living
No food for the children
Oh, the times are so bad
Whatever happened to giving
Oh mama, mend the hole in my coat
Take my guitar off the wall
I've got to go see what I can do
And I hope I'll be back by fall
Summer was a dry one
The wind burned across
And the crows carried off
What was left over
Five nights in the valley lights burned
The people did not stop
As the damage they try to recover
Oh mama, mend the hole in my coat
Take my guitar off the wall
I've got to go see what I can do
And I hope I'll be back by fall
There's lightning in the mountain
And the wind blow so sweet
I swear sometimes this must be heaven
Don't look back, don't think about it
Just think about the road beneath your feet
Remember the gift that must be given
Oh mama, mend the hole in my coat
Take my guitar off the wall
I've got to go see what I can do
And I hope I'll be back by fall
