The Woman of my Land
The woman of my land
Born on the mountain of hillbilly
Assuage on the land of riffling
By the hands toiled in grieving
In the shadowy of an uncanny encounter, is cross laid
The woman of my land
Left in the cruel of life
Avenge by the rod of titans
In the middle of the hill
In the rain and the drought
Is soul live
The woman of my land
Enslave in the camp of the vile hearted
Alone in her burdens ,no one cares
In her dream and druggery, is soul emerged
In her tearful woes of penury,is shadow
depart
The woman of my land
When life in demanded
Her blessing she proclaims
Her love she gives
Lo, what she got in returns
No one know
The woman of my land
When death comes striving
Whirling against the dying of the light
O'er the face of adversity
Moving amidst the verge of equanimity
O fears of death deprived life
The woman of my land
Can't turn the hands of time
Death comes swallows the life hunters
Lest the righteous live forever
The woman of my land •
