Gordon Lightfoot Sixteen Miles Lyrics

CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:
VRS 1:
Early in the morning when the dew is on
Each and every rosebud, you will find me gone
So knock me down and pick me up and knock me down again
Break my heart and steal my gold and slander my good name
VRS 2:
Seven lonely hours on a morning train
Take me to a place where I won't come back again
Seven lonely Pullmans, speeding down the line
Taking me away from an old love of mine
INSTRUMNTL:
VRS 3:
Sixteen miles to seven lakes, way up among the pines
In some hidden valley where the twirling river twines
Where the fish swim up and down and sparkling waters fall
Where the thunder rolls and the lonely puma calls
VRS 4:
Somewhere on the mountain, I'll take another name
Rid my mind of memories and start my life again
Somewhere in the wilderness I'll build a cabin small
Then forget, so I won't remember you at all
OUTRO:
