Dusty Trails of Sorrow

Woke up this morning, sun barely rising low Cotton feels calling but my back's shaking slow River running muddy like the tears in my eyes Lost my darling to the wind under them stormy skies Ain't no money in my pocket just dust on my shoes But I keep on walking paying my blues dues All these blues, they wrap around my soul Singing through the heartache, making broken whole From the delta's whisper to the midnight train's moan Resilience in my voice, never walk alone Blue notes bending telling tales of pain But I rise up singing dancing in the rain Boss man hauling chain gang, pulling tight Sweat on my forehead, fighting through the night Memories of freedom, echoes in the pine Hardship carved deep but my spirit's still mine Harmonica wailing, guitar strings cry out In this lonesome hollow I find what it's about All these blues, they wrap around my soul Singing through the heartache, making broken whole From the delta's whisper to the midnight train's moan Resilience in my voice, never walk alone Blue notes bending telling tales of pain But I rise up singing dancing in the rain One day the lily break, wash away the sorrow No more shadows chasing, greeting a new tomorrow Through the fire and the flood, I've learned to stand tall Blues in my blood, answering the call All these blues, they wrap around my soul Singing through the heartache, making broken whole From the delta's whisper to the midnight train's moan Resilience in my voice, never walk alone Blue notes bending telling tales of pain But I rise up singing dancing in the rain Singing through the heartache, making broken whole Resilience in my voice, never walk alone Blue notes bending telling tales of pain But I rise up singing dancing in the rain Singing through the heartache, dancing in the rain Singing through the heartache, dancing in the rain Singing through the heartache, dancing in the rain Singing through the heartache, dancing in the rain Subtitles by the Amara.org community
