My first lover. My first lover. . He was tall and breezy with his long hair down. But he gets a little hazy when I think of him now. . My first lover.
I looked around and all up and down. I never wasted time on two or three. There's only one girl for me. . There was a time she used to treat me fine. But lately she's been acting awful stoned.
Make me down a pallet on your floor. Make me down a pallet on your floor. Make me down a pallet soft and low. When I'm broke an' I got no where to go.
In the black dust towns of East Tennessee. All the works about the same. Well you may not go to a job in the ground. But you'll learn the Miner's Refrain.
