about

when black lung disease and alcohol abuse leave a woman without her man, she turns violent and bold, and robs a bank to be able to provide for her children

lyrics

It’s a new rising sun, a new rising sun
Gonna be a brand new day when the long night has gone

With the sun shining warm on the first day of spring
She walked through the door demanded with a scream
Get on the floor, no one will be hurt here today

She moved to the vault gave the clerk a chilling glare
Pointing and shouting shot a warning in the air, said
Take this sack, fill it till there’s room for no more

Refrain:
Her children were suffering she ain’t got no food
Her man drowns in sorrow and booze
Oh the chances she’ll take as she’s falling from grace
She can’t seem to earn a fair wage

Consumption in the mines, would kill in three years time
Broken by hard labor her man lost his pride
Till he’d reside, to closin’ out the barroom each night

Well his drinking took hold he turned violent he got bold
Lost all his wages to the gambler in his soul
It’s hard you know, to live your life without a shadow

When your children are suffering and you ain’t got no food
Your man drowns in sorrows and booze
Oh the chances you’ll take as you’re falling from grace
And you can’t seem to earn a fair wage

Marc works as a solo artist, and with his Bluegrass/Americana Band The Stonethrowers.
