lyrics

Here down in Black River Falls,
Our children lay asleep,
Buried low beneath the snow,
And trampled by our feet,
The rags that hang around us now,
Are all that bear our names,
And when the Winter comes for us,
Are all that will remain.

And there's broken glass and shards of our windows,
Where Mary Sweeney powdered up her nose,
And the blood stains linger in the empty farm,
Where Young Anderson produced a firearm,
Pulled the trigger with his infant hands,
And fled away to foreign lands,
It took ten of the sheriff's men to track him down.

Here down in Black River Falls,
The trees all show their bones,
And clutch the earth that gave them birth,
Then wither skyward home,
And the rags that hang around us now,
Are all that bear our names,
And when the Winter comes for us,
Are all that will remain.
