Thread Name: Origins: The Unquiet Grave (Cold Blows the Wind)
Subject: RE: the unquiet grave- different lyrics (slightly
It's one of the fine ballads. Somehow, though, it always makes me think of the drunk who fell into an open grave while wending his uneven way from the tavern one winter day. A second drunk, passing by, heard him wailing, "Help! I'm freezing down here!" To which the second responded, "No wonder you're cold. You kicked all your dirt off."
