lyrics

Settle in for me, settle in and calm it down
And I’ll make my way
Settle in for me, settle in and calm it down
And I’ll make my way

River’s cold a like a rattlesnake
Listen what your big daddy say
Baby daughter don’t fight that wave
I’ll get to you or I’ll find my grave

Well it’s over for me, and it is over for you
And they will find my body, but they will never find you

The Cabin Song EP
by T. Nile

Beautifully played sung and excellent tunes. T. Nile from Vancouver will not disappoint. I love this album as it is more acoustic sounding than her latest (2016) outing which is also excellent. Dr. Fishy
