[Chorus]
In the winter when the streams are frozen
In the winter when the birds don’t sing
That’s when I lost my home
When I lost everything

[Verse 1]
Kept a’ walkin’ ‘till my feet were bloody
Left everything we knew
When they took us ‘cross the Mississippi
Nothin’ that I could do but
Cry, Cry
Cry
Keep a’ pushin’ on into the ocean
Dancin’ like a man in chains
‘Till you wind up where the sod is hard
Here where you lose you name
Same people said that I was Godless
Same people showed how to pray
Same people with a pen or rifle
Same people took it all away

Cry, Cry
Cry
One more mile
One more night
One thousand lies won’t make it right
Cry, cry
One more mile
One more night
One thousand lies won’t make it right

[Chorus]
In the winter when the streams are frozen
In the winter when the birds don’t sing
That’s when I lost my home
When I lost everything
Cry, Cry
Cry
