The Road to Cutter Creek

Words & Music by Folky MacFolk Face (2018)

Left my home in Tennessee,
Walked out the old front door,
Headed west towards the sea,
And the distant California shore.

For the story had been told,
And the world was on its feet.
Great riches to behold,
In a land of opportunity,
In a land of opportunity.

Don’t you cry brother,
Don’t you cry sweet sister,
Don’t you cry dear mother,
Though the sun will rise no more,
Though the sun will rise no more.

I walked the road to Cutter Creek,
On the promise, there’d be gold.
But Lord, I was so weak,
And false dreams I had been sold.

For those mines would break your back,
And those mines will kill your soul.
And Lord, when I did crack,
Well, the whisky bottle took my gold,
The whisky bottle took my gold.

Don’t you cry brother,
Don’t you cry sweet sister,
Don’t you cry dear mother,
Though the sun will rise no more,
Though the sun will rise no more.

Now, the devil took my mind,
On that burning summer day,
For the gold that we did find,
I took his life away.

But I won’t give up hope,
That I’ll see you again,
Beyond the gallows rope,
In the glowing light that never ends,
In the glowing light that never ends,
In the glowing light that never ends,
In the glowing light that never ends.

So, don’t you cry brother,
Don’t you cry sweet sister,
Don’t you cry dear mother,
Though the sun will rise no more.

Don’t you cry brother,
Don’t you cry sweet sister,
Don’t you cry dear mother,
Though the sun will rise no more,
Though the sun will rise no more,
Though the sun will rise no more,
Though the sun will rise no more.

The sun will rise no more.
