Richard And Linda Thompson - Poor Ditching Boy

[Intro]
G C D G

[Verse 1]

Was there ever a winter so cold and so sad
C
The river too weary to flood
G
The storm and the wind cut through to my skin
C D G
But she cut through to my blood

[Verse 2]

I was looking for trouble to tangle my line
C
But trouble came looking for me
G
I knew I was standing on treacherous ground
C D G
I was sinking too fast to run free

[Chorus]
C Am G D
With her scheming, idle ways
C Am G
She left me poor enough

The storming wind cut through to my skin
C D G
But she cut through to me blood

[Verse 3]

I would not be asking, I would not be seen
C
A-begging on mountain or hill
G
But I’m ready and blind with my hands tied behind
C D G
I’ve neither a mind nor a will

[Chorus]
