7.Goddamn You, Jim
Winter passed without a glance
Took my only son at last
She cried in God's arms her blind and bleeding ocean
Blooming spring brought all I need
Warmth and rain for me to seed my earth
Good earth for my boy to lie in
In the summer I worked the land
She walked like she still held his hand
And I swear to Christ I caught her once or twice a'smiling
Autumn came, my gold wheat swaying,
I cut her down from where she was swinging
She said: Goddamn you, Jim, up there I could hear him laughing
