lyrics

Mama died eight days ago
Dragged her inside from the snow
A victim of the vicious cold

And the weight won't make me stronger
And the day is growin' long
And fire ain't gonna harm her
Ten more miles and still no peace of mind

Daddy says we gotta leave the county
So's to put her into the ground
Swearin', "Boys now don't you never doubt me!
Load the wagon, make no sound"

And the good Lord took our mules at the river
Buzzards creepin' close behind
And a stench so foul it'll make you shiver

And the weight won't make me stronger
And the day is growin' long
And fire ain't gonna harm her
Ten more miles and still no peace of

Mine's a crooked case
A rat trapped in a maze
The only chance I'll have to take
Is set this barn a-blaze

And the pain is gettin' stronger
And the day is growin' long
So the flames will have to calm her
Ten more miles to burn this piece

And the weight won't make me stronger
And the day is growin' long
And fire ain't gonna harm her
Ten more miles and still no peace of
Ten more miles and still no peace of
Ten more miles is ten more miles
with Ten more miles and still no peace of mind
