Parchment Farm Revisited
Verse 1
Hey little darlin’ don’t you grieve me
I’ll do things to make you sing
But a combination of female planning
Got me in the place I’m in
Cos I’m the victim of a perfect crime
She stole my heart now I’m doing time
Chorus
One night alone with that girl
One touch of her sweet hand
One night alone with that girl
And you’ll break rocks on Parchment Farm
Verse 2
Now something else has got thinking
Why I’d hand my soul to you
Can it be your charms and graces
Make me young and act the fool
I’m the victim of a perfect crime
She stole my heart now I’m doing time
Chorus
Verse 3
I’m a writing letter to my baby
From three stone walls and a jailhouse door
Forty more years I got to stay here
Cos she shot a man at her back door
I’m the victim of a perfect crime
She stole my heart now I’m doing time
Chorus
Now I break rocks on Parchment Farm
Wake me up at the break of dawn
Never did see that girl no more
Cos now I break rocks on Parchment Farm
I break rocks on Parchment Farm
