Daniel said traveling risky But the money awful good When I get back we can finally Get ahead sure we could He left the fifth of December Took our oldest boy Ben I packed them biscuits and butter, And never saw them again [Chorus] How can I keep on walking, God Almighty tells me this One foot in front of the other, One foot in front of the next I sent my second oldest baby Out to find his next of kin They found the wagon in the springtime Up on the Killbuck River edge He was quieter than his brother, And his brother's his closest friend I packed him biscuits and butter, And never saw him again [Chorus] They found the bones of our team of oxen, The shirt I'd sewn with my own hands They found the basket I'd pack the biscuits, But not a trace of my men I think I'll go down to the river I think I'll take up throwing stones I think I'll cry until I'm finished And I learn to sleep alone [Chorus] I think I'll go down to the river I think I'll take up throwing stones I'll never make another biscuit
