Three Acre Plot - Oh Father Lyrics

Oh father
I done a bad bad thing
Shot down a deer with my arrow and it died in the spring
And the spring
Well the water turned black
Threw down my bow and my quiver and I never looked back
And the rain
Well the rain done gone
And the rain
The rain done gone

Oh sister
The blue river run dry
Oh sister
The blue river run dry
Sucked out the color of heaven from a bruised black sky
And the sun
It beats down on my head
Cursing my family and children, the quick and the dead
And the rain
Well the rain done gone
And the rain
The rain done gone

Oh lover
My brother struck me down
Oh lover
My brother struck me down
Said he wouldn't rest 'til my body was stuck in the ground
Now the sun, it beats down on my head
Cursing my family and children, the quick and the dead
So I'm gone, with my pack on my back
Heading up north past the mountains and I'll never look back
Cause the rain
The rain done gone
And the rain
The rain done gone
