lyrics

Sugar Water

Youngest blush, the youngest blush
When your sweetheart plants a tree
A tree to mark his lasting love
A love that grows as roots grow deep

Reckless love, oh reckless love
You sang your song, you saw your man
Did you hear your conscience’s pluck,
Or see the fiery ring to come?

Left alone, left all alone
With babes a’cryin’ for food to eat
Well’s gone dry and the wind blows cold
While he roams the distant valleys

He don’t know, he don’t know
I’ve fall’n in love with a handsome thief
The handsome thief a’stole my heart
We’ll meet again when I dream

Now I am low, I’m very low
My heart is sinking ‘neath my feet
My husband gave me Doctor’s tonic
Said take it daily, take and drink

Drink it down, I drink it down
While he still wanders chasing dreams
I wander, too, towards my thief
My family knows not what to think

Sugar water sure is sweet
But Sugar Water don’t cure me
I’ll drink my comfort ‘til I die
For my heart is tied to the family tree
