The Walkabouts - Rebecca Wild Lyrics
Gathered by the riversideThe current pulls 100 yearsEach waySavin' souls and singin' songsThey beg and smile, butMurder just the sameWatch me slip into the treesBreakin' brush past darknessAnd the coldGray crosses mark the ridgeReached her grave and fellDown in the snowThat's when I dreamedThat I was Rebecca WildThat's when I dreamed who she wasWho she wasRebecca stood in the union hallSaid: "your hands are weak fromHoldin' on too strong"That was the lost night she ever spokeA company man, he droveHer off the roadThat's when I dreamed thatI was Rebecca WildThat's when I dreamed who she wasWho she wasThat's when I dreamed thatI was Rebecca WildThat's when I dreamed who she wasLast night I dreamed thatI was Rebecca WildLast night I dreamed who she wasRebecca Wild
