[00:08.80]This cruel country has driven me down
[00:16.25]Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
[00:23.93]I've only sad stories to tell to this town
[00:31.73]My dreams have withered and died
[00:39.35]Once I was bending the tops of the trees
[00:46.27]Kind words in my ears, kind faces to see
[00:54.49]Then I struck up with the boys from the west
[01:02.26]They'd run and hide, they'd run and hide
[01:10.04]Count one to ten and he's gone with the rest
[01:17.75]My dreams have withered and died
[01:23.42]
[01:55.14]Silver moon sail up oh silver moon shine
[02:02.84]On the water so wide, the water so wide
[02:10.46]Steal from the bed of some good friend of mine
[02:17.78]My dreams have withered and died
[02:25.41]If I was a butterfly, I'd live for a day
[02:33.12]I would be free just blowing away
[02:41.00]This cruel country has driven me down
[02:48.55]Teased me and lied, teased me and lied
[02:56.03]I've only sad stories to tell to this town
[03:03.49]My dreams have withered and died  My dreams have withered and died
