[Verse 1]
She came along like she was hiding
Some deep secret
But now she's gone and I carry on to keep it
The cow's are grazing
Boys, the fishing's getting good
If fate's an old woodpecker I'm an old chunk of wood

[Refrain]
Some mysteries we will never know
The turtle dove and the crow made a nest

[Verse 2]
We shared a line etched in stone between two years
I aim to pack my grave someday and go see her
Gonna climb that ladder
Jacob won't you hold the door
Just got to drop me a line
This side of Jordan

[Refrain]
Some mysteries we will never know
The turtle dove and the crow made a nest

[Fiddle Solo]
[Verse 3]
She came along like she was hiding
Some deep secret
She saw the future, boys
And I was her ticket
The American dream suited us just fine
I'm a-lay down easy in my time of dying
