Dark And Troubled Ways

by Bill Ludwig

/

about

With the first hit of the lagerphone, 'Dark And Troubled Ways' transports you to the earliest days of Americana. It tells the tale of a man whose worries only lift with the dark of night and the shine of the cold, silvery moon. The song is brimming with banjo, mandolin, harmonica and bass and carried along with the lagerphone's crashing stomp.

lyrics

The sun high up above there
Weighs down on a man
A man with dark and troubled ways

Her sun shine bright and holy
Falls upon that man
Wrapped up in his darkness tighter still

Her light provides no comfort
Or lightens up his load
The man has dark and troubled ways

But she keeps on a-shining
All the livelong day
Showers warmth upon the flowered hill

(Chorus)
At night the moon comes rising
And he rise right along
Lifted by it’s light upon his brow

The load he carries lifted
On moonlight wings above
Gaze upon his troubles down below
______

With morn' comes curtain lifted
The light a-creeping through
Heavy as a stone upon his back

He spends his days a-dragging
His dark and troubled ways
Beneath a perfect Springtime sunny day
