Peter Stampfel - Way of Woe lyrics
[Peter Stampfel - Way of Woe lyrics]
I asked my girl to come with me
She said your way leads to the sea
But my own way is the way of woe
And to the sea I will not go
The path of pain, the rocky road
The lonesome highway, the heavy load
She said these ways lead by and by
Where dreams come true beyond the sky
I said your path is not my way
I wanted free, you want to pay
She promised me, someday I know
The fools avoid, the way of woe
Straight is the gift and hard the way
And high the price, our children will pay
Thеy’ll curse us high, they’ll curse us low
Thеy’re gonna reap just what we sow
Doom in the land, doom in the sea
Doom in the farm and factory
She promised me, someday we know
The fools avoid, the way of woe
She said your way leads to the sea
But my own way is the way of woe
And to the sea I will not go
The path of pain, the rocky road
The lonesome highway, the heavy load
She said these ways lead by and by
Where dreams come true beyond the sky
I said your path is not my way
I wanted free, you want to pay
She promised me, someday I know
The fools avoid, the way of woe
Straight is the gift and hard the way
And high the price, our children will pay
Thеy’ll curse us high, they’ll curse us low
Thеy’re gonna reap just what we sow
Doom in the land, doom in the sea
Doom in the farm and factory
She promised me, someday we know
The fools avoid, the way of woe
