Deconstructing Blue Grass Lyrics: “Cold Sheets of Rain”
Cover your ears, it’s horrible
I’ve seen the lightning flashin’ I’ve heard the thunder roar

True Song
Poor Ellen Smith how she was found
Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground
Her clothers were all scattered and thrown on the ground
And blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found
They picked up their rifles and hunted me down
And found me a-loafing in Mount Airy town
They picked up the body and carried it [...]
