[00:06.86]When she had twenty years
[00:10.15]She turned to her mother
[00:13.39]Saying Mother I know that you'll grieve
[00:20.15]But I've given my soul to St John the gambler
[00:26.86]Tomorrow comes time to leave
[00:33.36]For the hills cannot hold back
[00:36.63]My sorrow forever
[00:40.17]And dead men lay deep 'round the door
[00:46.68]The only salvation thats mine for the asking
[00:53.39]So mother think on me no more
[01:00.13]Winter held high round the mountains breast
[01:06.33]And the cold of a thousand snows
[01:13.29]Lay heaped upon the forests leaf
[01:19.66]But she dressed in calico
[01:26.54]For a gambler likes his women fancy
[01:33.71]Fancy she would be
[01:39.61]And the fire of her longing
[01:42.86]Would keep way the cold
[01:46.33]And her dress was a sight to see
[01:52.979996]But the road was long beneath the feet
[01:59.59]She followed her frozen breath
[02:06.24]In search of a certain St John the gambler
[02:12.97]Stumbling to her death
[02:19.63]She heard his laughter
[02:22.69]Right down from the mountains
[02:26.16]And danced with her mothers tears
[02:32.75]To a funeral drawn a calico
[02:39.41]'Neath the cross of twenty years
[02:46.0]To a funeral drawn a calico
