Stoneysides

Well its been raining six long nights
And there ain’t no end in sight
Folks are sliding all around
See them wheels spinning round

Well pick us up and pile us in
If we get stuck we’ll get out again
Now the rest are coming on our heels
So sit up quick and take that wheel

Back up and push, now all together
Heave, well that ain’t no better
Pull, she starts to ride
Coming down at Stoneysides

Well I see that bride coming down
Dressed all in her wedding gown
That groom he’s looking back
Back down that muddy track

We’ve come out for a wedding day
Looking like we’re bound to stay
Now see them faces turning red
And listen as the old boss says,

Back up and push, now all together
Heave, well that ain’t no better
Pull, she starts to ride
Coming down at Stoneysides

Now when her baby leaves her side
Momma she just moans and cries
Tears and mud and rain and sand
Lord, lead them on to drier land

Back up and push, now all together
Heave, well that ain’t no better
Pull, she starts to ride
Coming down at Stoneysides
