Why Oh Why Songtext
von Railcar 49

Bright blue skies stretching out before me
Golden sun, it burns my brain
And as I lie here, lay me down to die
I wonder why, I wonder why
Why, why, why, why oh why
Why, why, why, why oh why
I am a miner, late 49er
I break my back digging for gold
But all I′ve ever found is pain and sorrow
I wonder why, I wonder why
Why, why, why, why oh why
Why, why, why, why oh why
Am I lying like a dog on a dead end street
Trying to drag my bones from the morning heat
Beaten and broken, left high and dry


And now I'm waiting for the buzzards to come peck out my eyes
Deep in the dead of night, when all were sleeping
Like howling banshees, they took it all
Dragged me from my bed and left me here to die
I wonder why, I wonder why
Why, why, why, why oh why
Why, why, why, why oh why
Am I lying like a dog on a dead end street
Trying to drag my bones from the morning heat
Beaten and broken, left high and dry
And now I′m waiting for the buzzards to come peck out my eyes
Why, why, why, why oh why
Why, why, why, why oh why
Why, why, why, why oh why
Why, why, why, why oh why
