lyrics

I DID RUN
Thomas Schoeffler

I can hear the wind blowing in the trees,
Can you hear the farewell song that it sings for me ?
I can hear a blue bird singing in a tree,
Can you hear the farewell song that he sings fo me ?

Ch:
Oh, captain, I should have worked harder,
I never should have complained,
I should have held on to my old hammer,
Bit I did run....

Oh, Lord I see a ship on that big black river,
Do you see that ship over yonder, do you see it ?
It sailing down the river to the city,
It sailing down the river where my baby leaves.

Ch:

The black eyed captain,
Oh Lord, he saw me,
When I dropped my hammer,
To run to the river.
He took his gun,
Oh Lord, have mercy,
He shot me twice in the liver,
Oh Lord, have mercy.
Oh captain, I will work no more,
I will never complain again,
I will grab this hammer no more,
‘cos I did run...
