1
Up on the Newport Ridge
2
It's there that I lived
3
With my husband Joe and a couple of kids
4
He worked the factory by day
5
And the fields by night
6
'Till they closed them both a year ago July
7
They came to take it all away without a how do you do
8
The sheriff just walked in one day
9
Said now Joe, you're through
10
Joe just caved in, he took the kids and he went
11
But he left his gun and they better not come again
12
Now Joe sends some money
13
And sometimes he sends his love
14
With a why don't you, what is done is done
15
Well, me and Joe weren't much
16
But we was what we was
17
And when times got tough you know that seemed enough
18
They tried to take it all away without a how do you do
19
The sheriff just walked in one day
20
Said now Joe, you're through
21
Joe just caved in, he took the kids and he went
22
But he left his gun and they better not come again
23
And sometimes at twilight, I sit with my pipe
24
Look down the lane as the cars go slowly by
25
Even people I know, they don't come in to say hello
26
To the crazy woman living out on the line
27
But they tried to take it away without a how do you do
28
The sheriff just walked in one day
29
Said now Joe, you're through
30
Joe just gave in, he took the kids and he went
31
But he left his gun and they better not come again
32
But he left his gun and they better not come again
