Grant Rogers - The Ballad of Pat McBraid LYRICS: Come all you boys and gather 'round, I'm sure the time has come For many times you've asked me where I've been and seen or done For now I'm old and tired, no more youthful can I be I was born in that good old Garden State in 1863 As a lad, I've roamed the shores and fished on the River Delaware I saw the raftsmen steer their logs where they came I knew not where So I became determined it was this I had to learn Perhaps their boss would give me work, some wages I could earn I started out one morning me bedroll on me back For food I took my fishing pole with a hook stuck in me hat And only when I stopped to rest it was hours after dark Don't be surprised when I tell you guys here's where the story starts It was the early days in August that I hit this logging camp The first time since I started that I felt like heading back But soon a man walks up to me, the foreman of the crew He looks me top to bottom, says, "What can I do for you?" He took me to the paying shack, says he, "Give me your name And whether fake or otherwise to me its just the same But you must have a handle if you're looking to be paid" Says I,"I'll take my wages to the name of Pat McBraid" Through me fifty years of logging I have seen a mighty change From river rafts to steamships from motor trucks to trains If there's a moral you're looking for, there's one that's plain to see We took the roof from the red man's head to shelter you and me Tags: grant rogers pat mcbraid blues pete seeger norman studer bob dylan north country rainbow quest folk |
