Roy Lee Lyrics

Thirty Years of Farming
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of E to match cd
I played sound byte Capo 2 (F#), still key of E
Roy Lee
He was a simple man from the mountains,
Those hills put a song in his heart
And how the miles can take you from wherever you are
And how he felt when he held his guitar
He turned the heads of the ladies,
Wound up in jail from the men that he'd fight
Had to wash down his suffering with white pills and whiskey
Cause he was restless and tortured, inside
Chorus:
Now he's crossed his last lonesome river,
Knowing strangers, and stonewalls are still far
Now he is back in the mountains were I hope he finds peace
God Bless him, rest him, Roy Lee
Instrumental:
Some said he was mean and cold-hearted
Some said a victim of life's circumstance
Oh, but we all agree, he was a man from the mountains
Only he and his God understands
Chorus:
tag:
Now he's back on the mountain where I hope he finds peace
God Bless him, and rest him, Roy Lee
