Born In Your Town Lyrics - Singles - Incredible String Band

Born in your town on this young morning 

oh certainly I have good luck coming 

sadly sadly have I mourned making heavy my burden 

such toils to entwine me 

no more to endure them 

A lover is to me she is my companion 

six strings at my hand to the morning I tuned them 

oh warm room I have and a warm place for sleeping 

black coffee to waken me 

no more to be dreaming 

The wings of the albatross long since I saw him 

the hair of the goats as they walk to the island 

in the hands of the watchers a page is turned over 

and the echoes flow on rippling on 

on the face of the river 

What would I wish for if wishing were having 

in the streets of your town I see nothing worth stealing 

for autumn speaks leaves to the lost deeps forever 

and the clouds echo on echoing on 

on the face of the river
