[00:00:01] Poor Ditching Boy - Richard Thompson

[00:00:10] Written by：Richard Thompson

[00:00:13] Was there ever a winter so cold and so sad

[00:00:19] The river too weary to flood

[00:00:25] The storming wind cut through to my skin

[00:00:30] But she cut through to my blood

[00:00:38] I was looking for trouble to tangle my line

[00:00:44] But trouble came looking for me

[00:00:49] I knew I was standing on treacherous ground

[00:00:54] I was sinking too fast to run free

[00:00:59] With her scheming idle ways

[00:01:05] She left me poor enough

[00:01:11] The storming wind cut through to my skin

[00:01:16] But she cut through to my blood

[00:01:22] I would not be asking I would not be seen

[00:01:28] A beggin on mountain or hill

[00:01:32] But I'm ready and blind with my

[00:01:36] Hands tied behind

[00:01:38] I've neither a mind nor a will

[00:01:43] With her scheming idle ways

[00:01:50] She left me poor enough

[00:01:55] The storming wind cut through to my skin

[00:02:01] But she cut through to my blood

[00:02:09] It's bitter the need of the poor ditching boy

[00:02:15] He'll always believe what they say

[00:02:20] They tell him it's hard to be honest and true

[00:02:25] Does he mind if he doesn't get paid

[00:02:30] With her scheming idle ways

[00:02:37] She left me poor enough

[00:02:42] The storming wind cut through to my skin

[00:02:47] But she cut through to my blood
