on Line Shack Blues
Way up in the mountains by the timber line
There's a run-down cabin you can barely find
It's got a few provisions for a man to use
But there ain't a thing to drive away the line shack blues
With promises of springtime in a winter pay
The foreman sent me here and here is where I'll stay
He told me 'bout the peace and quiet and the view
But he never said a thing about the line shack blues
Oo, I'm all alone
Up here where the zephyrs and the coyotes moan
Oo, it's lonesome too
A man can loose his mind from them old line shack blues
I'm just about as bored as a man can be
I'm getting mighty tired of my own company
I've told me every story that I ever knew
One-sided conversation got the line shack blues
Oo, I'm all alone
Up here where the zephyrs and the coyotes moan
Oo, it's lonesome too
A man can loose his mind from them old line shack blues
I keep hoping maybe this is worth it all
If I can only make it till the April thaw
I tell ya partner there is one thing I know is true
I'm never coming back to these old line shack blues
Oo, I'm all alone
Up here where the zephyrs and the coyotes moan
Oo, it's lonesome too
A man can loose his mind from them old line shack blues
A man can loose his mind from them old line shack blues

on Line Shack Blues
It's "zephyrs", not sapphires. Zephyrs moan... sapphires do not.

on The Campfire Has Gone Out
The word is GREED not Grieve.
