[00:00.00]Biscuits and Butter - Carrie Newcomer
[00:06.72]Daniel said traveling's risky
[00:10.23]But the money's awful good
[00:12.94]When I get back we can finally
[00:16.56]Get ahead sure we could
[00:19.40]He left the fifth of December
[00:22.71]Took our oldest boy Ben
[00:25.90]I packed them biscuits and butter
[00:29.53]And never saw them again
[00:34.08]How can I keep on walking
[00:37.25]God Almighty tell me this
[00:40.49]One foot in front of the other
[00:44.15]One foot in front of the next
[00:51.85]I sent my second oldest baby
[00:55.25]Out to find his next of kin
[00:58.46]They found the wagon in the springtime
[01:02.14]Up on Killbuck River edge
[01:04.90]He was quieter than his brother
[01:08.09]And his brother's closest friend
[01:11.30]I packed him biscuits and butter
[01:14.98]And never saw him again
[01:19.63]How can I keep on walking
[01:22.66]God Almighty tell me this
[01:25.87]One foot in front of the other
[01:29.48]One foot in front of the next
[01:37.28]They found the bones of our team of oxen
[01:40.58]The shirt I'd sewn with my own hands
[01:43.79]They found the basket I'd pack the biscuits
[01:47.37]But not a trace of my men
[01:50.23]I think I'll go down to the river
[01:53.50]I think I'll take up throwing stones
[01:56.73]I think I'll cry until I'm finished
[02:00.44]And I learn to sleep alone
[02:05.01]How can I keep on walking
[02:08.23]God Almighty tell me this
[02:11.22]One foot in front of the other
[02:14.86]One foot in front of the next
[02:22.75]I think I'll go down to the river
[02:26.07]I think I'll take up throwing stones
[02:29.58]I'll never make another biscuit
