Well I worked all summer couldn't save a cent I gave all my money to the government I don't know quite how it got spent but the banks are coming for my deed though Man at the mill can't see though Let me get my feed for free though Ain't that the way it is I cut out down a gravel road I traded my stock for a V8 Ford Danced for town down on the floor boards And the title owed down to me though That gasoline ain't free through Just guzzling out of my knee boys Ain't that the way it is Well i met me a woman down in saint paul with a little money and a little pole Bloke told me that he'd bust my jaw If I talked to his sister again though Don't mean I couldn't win though There's blood running down my chin now Ain't that the way it is Well I slept all night on the bar room floor and woke up this morning my head was sore Pockets empty but I want some more Now The bar man's got my car though Tales worth more by far though I leave her down at the bar now Ain't that the way it is Well I hitched me a ride on the way back home I got me a job on a family farm Times are hard here but I can't roam and I ain't got nothing more boys Oh that company store tho Gold's looking good for sure though Ain't that the way it is Well I worked all summer couldn't save a cent I gave all my money to the government I don't know quite how it got spent but the banks are coming for my deed though Man at the mill can't see though Let me get my feed for free though Ain't that the way it is

I’m Sad You’re Lonely I’m Sad And You’re Lonely It’s Time You Grow Up It’s Time You Grow Up Sometimes I feel like crying Sometimes I I feel like crying But I know it’s not my time for dying I’m Sad And You’re Lonely

about

We wanted to celebrate this spring with some fun songs we’ve been working on.
Our new song, “Pound of Flesh”, captures the essence of Shylock in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice and pays due to the taxes we all have to pay in life. The festering weight of amounts of owed, financially or otherwise. To be put back into someone’s good grace is a task that we are all constantly mounting.

We’ve done takes on “Movin’ Out” by Billy Joel, “1922 Blues” by Charlie Parr, and “Sad & Lonely” by Mike Munson, all songs that involve paying a fee, whether to the government or to a forlorn lover.

Hope you enjoy the tunes!
