The Ballad Of John Vogelin Lyrics - Laura Veirs

I survived the desperate toll dark depression takes 

I may not break even but babe I'll never break 

Golden coins and smiles no they cannot tip my scales 

'cause this land, this love will never be for sale 

Brass hats and soldier boys whiskey on your breath 

Drop your holy missiles you can take my body dead 

Send me all your lightning storms your thunderheads and hail 

'cause this land, this love will never be for sale 

(Yodeling)

Wild eyes they watch on me through the velvet night 

Fire on the mountain you can burn me where I lie 

Even though I'm dead now as an old and rusty nail 

This land, this love will never be for sale
