Smoke don’t riseMinor key, of course, with a steady banjo backbeat. Nice.
Fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Left my home and left my love
Caught on a rusty nail
Devil rose up, heavy with gold
My soul’s not for sale
Then a holy man in a house of God
He offered me a book of prayer
And when I left my home I left my love
I left my faith back there
Smoke don’t rise
Fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin’ at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Shuttin’ my eyes and hang my head
Darkness makes no sound
Climb it up, bottom there
Earth’s on the way back down
When a sadness falls on the morning bird
Wonder what the day will bring
But I’m shuttin’ my eyes and hang my head
At least that bird can sing
Smoke don’t rise
Fuel don’t burn
Sun don’t shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin’ at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin’ this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin’ bones
Because you never know what trivial bit of information may ultimately prove to be vitally important.

Free mp3 sampler download
This one is a short sampler of five songs, total playing time 18 minutes. Another freebie from Amazon. Link here. I grabbed it when I saw Kasey Chambers' name on the list. She has one of those voices that I never get tired of hearing. Her song on this one is "Rattlin' Bones," a duet with Shane Nicholson.

On the free association front, just scanning the lyrics put in mind of "Bridge of Sighs" by Robin Trower.
ReplyDeleteChecked it out on YouTube. Nice tune. Vid shows Nicholson playing a Dobro. Does sound like a banjo though.
