GWas there ever a winter so cold and so sad
The river too weary to fClood
The Gstorming wind cut through to my skin
But Cshe cut Dthrough to my Gblood
I was looking for trouble to tangle my line
But trouble came looking for me
I knew I was standing on treacherous ground
I was sinking too fast to run free
Chorus:
With her CscheAmming, Gidle Dways
She Cleft me Ampoor eGnough
The storming wind cut through to my skin
But Cshe cut Dthrough to my Gblood
I would not be asking, I would not be seen
A-beggin’ on mountain or hill
But I’m ready and blind with my hands tied behind
I’ve neither a mind nor a will
Chorus
It’s bitter the need of the poor ditching boy
He’ll always believe what they say
They tell him it’s hard to be honest and true
Does he mind if he doesn’t get paid?           
Chorus

Chords in this song · guitar

Was there ever a winter so cold and so sad

The river too weary to flood

The storming wind cut through to my skin

C D G

But she cut through to my blood

I was looking for trouble to tangle my line

But trouble came looking for me

I knew I was standing on treacherous ground

I was sinking too fast to run free

Chorus:

C Am G D

With her scheming, idle ways

C Am G

She left me poor enough

The storming wind cut through to my skin

C D G

But she cut through to my blood

I would not be asking, I would not be seen

A-beggin’ on mountain or hill

But I’m ready and blind with my hands tied behind

I’ve neither a mind nor a will

Chorus

It’s bitter the need of the poor ditching boy

He’ll always believe what they say

They tell him it’s hard to be honest and true

Does he mind if he doesn’t get paid?

Chorus
