BOW DOWN
As recorded by Dirk Powell on "Songs from the Mountain" (2002)

All around the mountain and it was so cold, bow down
All around the mountain and it was so cold, bow down
All around the mountain and it was so cold,
Couldn't hear nothin' but the big winds roll, bow down

Wind blew north, the wind blew south, bow down
Wind blew north, the wind blew south, bow down
Wind blew north, the wind blew south,
Wind blew sand in the black snake's mouth, bow down

Wind blew up, the wind blew back, bow down
Wind blew up, the wind blew back, bow down
Wind blew up, the wind blew back,
Wind blew snow in the fox's track, bow down

Wind blew far, the wind blew wide, bow down
Wind blew far, the wind blew wide, bow down
Wind blew far, the wind blew wide,
Little kid play on the groundhog hide, bow down

Wind blew hard, the wind blew free, bow down
Wind blew hard, the wind blew free, bow down
Wind blew hard, the wind blew free,
Dry leaves rattle on the dead oak tree, bow down

Long cold nights in a tar paper shack, bow down
Long cold nights in a tar paper shack, bow down
Long cold nights in a tar paper shack,
Chilly wind blowin' through every crack, bow dow
