lyrics
I'm a farmer and a tanner, I worl hard and I work well
No one tells me when to start or stop with some damn working bell
In my home I keep it quiet had no visitors to tell until that damn traveler came
Well he told me he's a doctor from the city cross the hill
begged for lodging for the night he offered u.s. dollar bills
but before the night was over he got mean and he got killed
oh lord what now have i done
oh me, oh my, how i hate to see you cry
oh me, oh my, take him out and shoot him in the eye
well the sheriff aint my brother and the country wants my farm
but I swore my daddy I would keep my body out of harm
so I packed myself a horse and made a living selling yarns
oh lord what now have i done
I lived 10 years on the run, met a man, had a son
in a town called rapid river I got cornered with my gun
took a shot to save my life and took another for each one
oh lord what now have you done
I stared down that rapid river, rapids reaching for my life
and I swore if I could make it down that river with my knife
I'd get half as far as china fore they'd take me back alive
oh lord what now have i done
I am not your whipping woman I am not your whipping toy
I will teach you to go running with them no good backroom boys
I have done my share of running now I'm back in illinois
oh lord what now have you done
No one tells me when to start or stop with some damn working bell
In my home I keep it quiet had no visitors to tell until that damn traveler came
Well he told me he's a doctor from the city cross the hill
begged for lodging for the night he offered u.s. dollar bills
but before the night was over he got mean and he got killed
oh lord what now have i done
oh me, oh my, how i hate to see you cry
oh me, oh my, take him out and shoot him in the eye
well the sheriff aint my brother and the country wants my farm
but I swore my daddy I would keep my body out of harm
so I packed myself a horse and made a living selling yarns
oh lord what now have i done
I lived 10 years on the run, met a man, had a son
in a town called rapid river I got cornered with my gun
took a shot to save my life and took another for each one
oh lord what now have you done
I stared down that rapid river, rapids reaching for my life
and I swore if I could make it down that river with my knife
I'd get half as far as china fore they'd take me back alive
oh lord what now have i done
I am not your whipping woman I am not your whipping toy
I will teach you to go running with them no good backroom boys
I have done my share of running now I'm back in illinois
oh lord what now have you done
