Contest Coming (cripple Creek) Lyrics - Michelle Shocked

Sybil sits in a rocking chair 

Chewing tobacco and spitting out cares 

Sound of a fiddle floating through the air 

From the Jones boy across the holler 

From the Jones boy across the way 

Backwoods folks take sides from the middle 

Backwoods folks is old and brittle 

But they sway like a tree to the sound of a fiddle 

From the Jones boy across the holler 

From the Jones boy across the way
