Lay down my head by the wayside
My worn out shoes
Quite why she went I can´t decide
Yeah but I sure could use
One plate of food steaming and hot
Clean linen ironed
On a fresh made bed but I ain´t got
One salty dime， one salty dime
One salty dime
Just close your eyes it won´t take long
It won´t hurt a bit
Telling myself I could be strong
Or some such brave bullshit
Trucks are roaring by I´m a red ghost
In their tail light gleam
I´m a tumbleweed， I´m a spit roast
Just turning in your flame
Oh my darlin´ Kathleen
Cars they sound like waves that are breaking
On some distant shore
I gazed so hard into the great aching sky
It seemed that I， I wasn´t here no more
That my rushing blood was a river
My eyes two stars
My blowing hair all a quiver
A whispering field of grass
That murmurs as you pass
Oh my darlin´ Kathleen
That whispers out your name
Oh my darlin´ Kathleen
Oh my darlin´ Kathleen
