One Task
Had one taskIn our homeHad to draw water from the well for my father's horseI was the leastAmong my brothersAnd I would be the last among them to hold the reinsI could feel the heatFrom old lightningBefore my father was awakeWe'd take off ridingThere was one lawAt my father's houseThere's nothing the family needs it can't do withoutThe horse I lovedThe old and lameBy the time its service was done it'd be twice its ageOne morning in the mistI jumped the last fenceMore farther than even heOr the old man wentThe wild dancing fireWas snuffed out of meThat beast worked his whole lifeSongtexteAnd broke beneath meI had one taskIn our homeI had to drag a horse to the field with my father's gun
