The Rhythm Of Joy Lyrics

Ozark Mountain Daredevils The Rhythm Of Joy

(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)
the rain let up when the sun went down
I was livin' in a sad old story
the moon didn't shine but the train was on time
and the fox looked down on the glory
the fox looked down on the glory

the mare went lame and the fox got blame
there were tracks leadin' down from the trestle
then someone said that the fox was dead
but no one spoke of the devil
no one spoke of the devil
(GUITAR & HARP STUFF w/cool bass line)

the winter turned spring the valley turned green
the fox burned red in the sunrise
the hawk got shot the thief got caught
and the fox stood still on the hillside
the fox stood still on the hillside

then you broke up and I broke down
we're all in the soul of the stranger
and I know now what you knew then
the fox just laughed at the danger
the fox just laughed at the danger
(KEYBOARD & HARP STUFF)
