Jackson C. Frank - Child Fixin' To Die Lyrics

What isit?

someone have the chords of this song ?

Poor man, he went through such trauma, when he saw most of his class mates die, he seems to have felt guilty that he survived, these survivors are not survivors but just guilt ridden folks who never really accept their survival.

It´s cold and it´s lonesome
But it ain´t no big ride
horses are helpless
Young child fixin´to die.
It´s cold and it´s lonesome
Ain´t no second in command
Go where he will now
Fate´s on the land.

You who rule people
are princes and kings
see my body is open
see my father lay waste
Fly swift as an eagle
take comfort from that
Young child fixin´ to die now
my little boy´s time has come.

You who rule people
eternally free
of robbing your prisoners
take a lesson from me.
it´s cold and it´s lonesome
but it ain´t no big ride.
The horses are helpless
Young child fixin´ to die
The horses are helpless
Young child fixin´ to die.

This is it. The saddest song I have heard in 27 years on this planet. His recorded spectre watches over us; a hopeful beacon to those who understand.

This is a perfect example of art fueled by a life of pain and hardships. Astonishing.

Indeed, his life was painfull torture which fueled his blues

He's looking cool when his head is going closer and farther like this. :f Song is lovely too, never heard it before.

Listen to I want to be alone, then this song. Wow.

Грусно и усыпляюще.
Наверное потому, что не понимаю текст.
Ну и пойду-ка я спать.
Хотя песня и исполнитель - нормуль!

Good song, i like that. But little sleepy. Ok, it's my problem if I can't understand the lyrics,

voxel123456789, все равно дословно не перевести...о смерти мальчика, прототип которого его сын, умерший от какой то болезни...

It really breaks my heart, I am very sad that he died in solitary conditions. Alcoholic and probably very "deep", the best leave well ... Life is unfair.

Por favor necesito la letra en español..

My favourite song in the world

serious soul aching going on here...

reminds me of nick drake in some ways....although this man is still way more underappreciated. there's such a gut-wrenching pain that i can almost feel in this song. thanks for the post. nice to see someone else that has an appreciation for true genius....and only 1688 fucking views....

carlose0318 But on the upside, not one thumbs down!
