Sierra Girl
Poor Manâs Whiskey
(for Alice and Owen Brough)
I was born outside of Salt Lake City
In the year of â17
Just another blue eyed son
In the morning there to dream (?)
My old man drank moonshine whiskey
My Mama went out to pray
God bless all my brothers and sisters
I have to go away
Heading out in the morning
Headin out in the pouring rain
And the train rolls by⦠the Truckee river
Iâm lookin for my Sierra girl
I set out to Wells Nevada
To my grandpaâs cattle ranch
Spent my days riding fences
Gave the cowboys half a chance
I shipped out in the second war
Fighting in gua da canal
Lord knows I had some real hard times
Got to talk about it anyhow
Heading out in the morning
Headin out in the pouring rain
And the train rolls by.. the Truckee river
Iâm lookin for my Sierra girl
Break
Spent some time out in Reno
For to chase away my pain
And I lost everything I owned
In a five card poker game
Heading to Cal if for ni A
Lookin for to settle down
Riding in the Sierra wind
Pulling in to Truckee town
Heading out in the morning
Headin out in the pouring rain
And the train rolls by.. the Truckee river
Iâm lookin for my Sierra girl
Heading out in the morning
Headin out in the pouring rain
And the train rolls by.. the Truckee river
Iâm lookin for my Sierra girl
