Where were you when the creek dried up?
I was drinking from a broken-handled cup
What did Nell say in the letter come today?
She said the mountain's got to give way by and by
That was all she wrote
No reason here left for us to stay
That was all she wrote
I guess that we'll be leaving come the day
I thought I heard crying out front after dark
I heard the night birds call and that was all
I thought I heard a car going by real slow
It might have been the super, I don't know
Then they shot the line
The rocks began to shiver and to sway
Then they shot the line
I guess that we'll be leaving come the day
Where were you when the morning came around?
I was waiting on my rider back from town

The poplar leaves turn golden
They float down to the show the sky
And the wheel of great creation
Turns round once more that all may die
In the furrows, black crows are gathered
They cry for seed from winter's store
But the farmer holds fast 'til springtime
When the whole world round
Will rise once more
