lyrics

Sent to the edge of the world
Now I’ve got to serve my time
Banished to a new kind of hell
Penance for a wicked crime

Well it might have been poverty
Call it hunger, call it need
For the want of a crust of bread
The magistrate calls it greed

Chorus:
To the edge of the world
Where the life once given me
Has been chained and bound
And dangled at your mercy
To the edge of the world
Where only my mind can save me
Why am I still so afraid
Of my dying day?

Sent to the edge of the world
And I’m singing my sad refrain
A ‘cat o’ nine tails’ across my back
And I’m dragging your ball & chain

And now you’re working me like a dog
Yeah, you’re working me into my grave
And you quote from your Bible like you’re some kind of saint
But you’ll get yours on judgment day

(Chorus)

Why am I still so afraid? (x4)

Sent to the edge of the world
Where my brothers and me
Took our chances, and we fought back
Crying ‘Death or Liberty’

(Chorus)

As always, the best of it's class. These guys are the reason I got into blues music. Top class blokes as well as musicians. Can't have a favourite track, they're all great. Alan Shields
