[Verse 1]
This cruel country has driven me down
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
I've only sad stories to tell to this town
My dreams have withered and died
[Bridge]
Once I was bending the tops of the trees
Kind words in my ears, kind faces to see
[Verse 2]
Oh, then I struck up with a boy from the west
They'd run and hide, they'd run and hide
Count one to ten and he's gone with the rest
My dreams have withered and died
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]

On the water so wide, the water so wide
Steal from the bed of some good friend of mine
My dreams have withered and died
[Bridge]
If I were a butterfly I'd live for a day
I would be free just blowing away
[Verse 1]
This cruel country has driven me down
Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
I've only sad stories to tell to this town
My dreams have withered and died
My dreams have withered and died
[Outro]
Ah
