Lyrics

Hour or the Day

Don?t know the hour or the day
don?t know why they took it all away
it was dying that is so and a hard row to hoe
don?t know the hour or the day

Up on the pillory block you go
face them, your bitter heart to show
as the hour it creeps near
hold it close to you my dear
up on the pillory block you go

I remember all you all say
As your time it slips away
your feet began to sway
the crowd began to say ?don?t go?

Sweep up that hickory from the floor
paste that old blood across the door
when they come round they will see
there is nothing left of thee
sweep up that hickory from the floor

I remember all you all say
as your shadow slips away
the crowd begins to pray
the sky begins to rain and snow

Run now, the river for to find
don?t heed that echoing in your mind
soon you find that you are there
with a garland in your hair
run now, the river for to find

Crawl now, the better for to feel
old words and scraps will be your meal
when you find that you are near
send a missive to me ear
crawl now, the better for to feel

Filthy tyrants made of scum
with the world under their thumb
their heart tied to the drum
no thought for anyone but ?I?
