Song: Undone In Sorrow
Artist: Crooked Still
Album: Shaken By A Low Sound

Over yonder
In the graveyard
Where the wild
Wild flowers grow

There they laid
My own true lover
She'd gone from me
Forever more

Fairer than
The sweetest flower
Restless as
The wildest way

Pored in with love
Deep as a ocean
This is the girl
That I did win

I left her there
Back in the mountain
To see the world
Riches to gain

Oh, when I returned
No earthy treasure
Could ease this heart
So filled with pain

They saw high
Above the mountain
Beneath that little
Mound of clay

The girl that I
Returned to marry
So stand a mound
Of flowers did lay

I'll go lay you
Down and wonder
Lay aside
My earthy gain

All I am
Undone in riches
Undone in sorrow
I'll remain

Undone in sorrow
I'll remain

  • Beautiful...reminds me of my years in West Virginia

  • I love everything about this group and this song. The singing is so real, so pure and so longing, the banjo taps away the seconds of life, the violin plays the very tenderest of emotions, the cello is sad but angry and totally kicks ass and the acoustic bass is the rhythm of footsteps walking to the graveyard.

  • heard this sometime in Boston over the summer. great to hear this again

  • my new favorite band and my new favorite song

  • Cello... I like this

  • Moving story told by a moving storyteller- gifted and magical

  • I already completed the things on my to do list : saved to favorites.. yup! Shared with my friends. Yup! Sent my bulletin out .. yup! Why? Because sometimes strangers touch our heart and connect through song or sound or sight. In this case ... no visuals were even needed! The sounds does exactly what I needed it to do - it made me "feel" for if not but for a moment. Oh busy busy.. aren't we all? No time to think or feel or connect? NO no no... well, when my heart says STOP - I do!

  • Such a beautiful song and music.

    Thanks for sharing this creation with us

  • Mmmm I like.

  • I do believe this is on the album "Still Crooked," but! It matters not, in truth; still an amazing piece. :)
