The String and The Wire 가사

Oh sweet Tennessee rose all split up into parts Go fetch the string and the wire Go fetch the string and the wire from the kitchen drawer And I'll try to mend you up some more Warm, warm wind blow on these here two hands How they froze up fright They got too numb to knot the ends Go fetch the string and the wire Go fetch the string and the wire from the kitchen drawer And I'll try to mend you up some more They put poison in the well Made your sister cry and run So I'm sewing up a blanket spread To keep the jailhouse warm So go fetch the string and the wire Go fetch the string and the wire And a couple empty cans of tin So we can hear her cry again They put powder in the shells of your brother's lonely gun I'm afraid they don't make string and wire I know that's strong enough So go fetch my spinning spool Go fetch my spinning spool underneath the bed And I'll sew you up a handkerchief instead
