Sixteen Miles Lyrics

Sixteen Miles lyrics

Early in the morning when the dew is on

 Each and every rose bud you will find me gone

 So knock me down and pick me up

 And knock me down again

 Break my heart steal my gold

 And slander my good name 

 

 Seven lonely hours on the morning train

 Takes me to a place where I won't come back again

 Seven lonely Pullmans speedin' down the line

 Takin' me away from an old love of mine

 

 Sixteen miles to seven lakes way up among the pines

 In some hidden valley where the twirlin' river twines

 Where the fish swim up and down

 And the sparklin' water falls

 Where the thunder rolls

 And the lonely puma calls 

 

 Somewhere on the mountain I'll take another name

 Rid my mind of memories and start my life again

 Somewhere in the wilderness

 I'll build a cabin small

 Then forget so I

 Won't remember you at all
