Follow You Down To The Red Oak Tree Lyrics - Early In The Morning - James Vincent Mcmorrow

Follow you down to the red oak tree 

As the air moves thick through the hollow reeds 

Will you wait for me there until someone comes 

To carry me, carry me down 

See I have not I have not grown cold 

I have stole from men who have stole from those 

With their arms so thin and their skin so old 

But you are young, you are young, you are young 

Then somebody laughs like it's all just for hell 

As though we could not be saved from the depth of the well 

But the cloth that I make is a cloth you can sell 

To pay for the gossamer seeds 

Names get carved in the red oak tree 

Of the ones who stay and the ones who leave 

I will wait for you there with these cindered bones 

So follow me follow me down 

Follow me follow me down 

Follow me follow me down 

Follow me follow me down
