Lyrics for Branches

I saw she was living under some branches I saw she was happy in her circumstances I also live under branches I'd rather not live in these places We won't get married 'Cause she won't have me She wakes up awfully early these days, these days And there's no-one else so kind There's no-one else to find It's hard for me but I'm trying It's hard for me but I'm trying I saw she was busy gathering wood for a fire I'd like to help her some but she replies it's done We won't get married 'Cause she won't have me She wakes up awfully early these days, these days And there's no-one else so kind There's no-one else to find It's hard for me but I'm trying It's hard for me but I'm trying It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying) It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me but I'm trying)
