lyrics

The Ballad of Joseph Henry

Hold me darling, hold me now. They tell me you are going far away.
Tell me that it isn’t so, and I’ll be back to see you every day
Clouds this morning love is gone, and I’ll be gone down ruination’s way

You’ll be sun and I’ll be rain, they tell me you ain’t coming back again
\You’ll be sun and I’ll be rain, they tell me you ain’t coming back again


So hold me darling hold me now, they tell me you are going far away
Clouds this morning love is gone, and I’ll be gone down ruinations way.
The Sabbath morning church bell tolls, (a silver tear rolls gently down my face)


(Empty clouds and fields of stone, and dusty roads ain’t no place to call home) X 2
Ain’t no place to be alone,
Oh oh oh, leave the gold and lie, ‘neath the Southern Cross you’ll die,
Down in Van Diemen’s Land, my love you know I’ll die a lonely man.

My love you know I’ll die, a lonely man
