[00:00.0]St. John the Gambler - John Baizley
[00:11.54]When she had twenty years she turned to her mother
[00:17.06]Saying mother I know that you'll grieve
[00:22.84]But I've given my soul to St John the gambler
[00:29.09]Tomorrow comes time to leave
[00:34.08]For the hills cannot hold back my sorrow forever
[00:40.45]And dead men lie deep 'round the door
[00:46.28]The only salvation that's mine for the asking
[00:51.94]So mother think on me no more
[00:58.26]An' winter held high 'round the mountains breast
[01:03.63]And the cold of a thousand snows
[01:08.91]Lay heaped upon the forests leaf
[01:14.79]But she dressed in calico
[01:20.09]For a gambler likes his women fancy
[01:26.65]Fancy she would be
[01:32.07]And the fire of her longing would keep 'way the cold
[01:37.86]And her dress was a sight to see
[02:29.75]But the road was long beneath the feet
[02:35.52]She followed her frozen breath
[02:40.97]In search of a certain St John the gambler
[02:47.18]Stumbling to her death
[02:53.17]She heard his laughter right down from the mountains
[02:59.02]And danced with her mothers tears
[03:04.16]To a funeral drawn a calico
[03:09.83]'Neath the 'cross of twenty years
[03:15.88]To a funeral drawn a calico
[03:21.37]'Neath the 'cross of twenty years
