The Smoky Mt. Lament Lyrics

Oh Lord Lord, a poor mountain boy Was buried today Buried today So young Just a poor woman's son They carried away So far away One fight For the rest of my life I'll live with the pain Live with the pain One child Sacrificed to a cause That I can't explain No I can't explain The Smoky Mountain rain Comin' down Feels so cold Our blood is in the fields My boy is here no more Oh Lord Don't cry I?ll be home by and by I heard him say He did say So sure That the dangers in store Were all just a game All just a game I heard In his last dyin? words He called out my name Called my name Oh Lord Can't your mercy afford A poor boy be saved One boy be saved
