Subject: Lyr Req: Can't Put It Back
I can't find the words to this one anywhere. I have a PARTIAL recording of it that I picked up about 20 years ago on West Virginia Public Radio. It's done a capella style by a male singer. part of it goes:
they come and tell me I've got to move make way for their big machines but I'm not a-movin' until they kill me like they killed the fish in my stream I ain't a-movin' outta my tracks cause they can't put it back
I never was one to walk in lines picket with placards, carry signs but maybe I'm behind the times you can bet your sweet life they're gonna hear ftom me I ani't gonna take this layin' down cause I'm gettin tired of seein rocks that bleed on the bare guts of the ground I ain't a-movin' outta my tracks cause they can't put it back
