Ne'er Do Wells - Audra Mae, Audra Mae & The Almighty Sound

When I was 9 years old my daddy made me see

The story of the railroad and how it came to be

He said the men who laid it down had left their own home towns

And broke their backs to give us traction

Ne’er do wells and woe be gones

Show your face for we were wrong

Ne’er do wells and woe be gones

Feel no shame it won’t be long

Yeah

Do you ever stop to think who built those walls around you

Do you ever wonder who those people were at all

Because the hands that give you shelter

Are the very ones that you refused

And the proof of what they’re worth

Will long after you and I are gone

Ne’er do wells and woe be gones

Show your face for we were wrong

Ne’er do wells and woe be gones

Feel no shame it won’t be long

Yeah

I beg you listen with an open heart

You so so cruelly judged

Forgive us our trespasses

Were taught to us because

We were raised by people

Just like you and so

When the world falls down around us

It’ll be to you I go

It’ll be to you we all come runnin'

Ne’er do wells and woe be gones

Show your face for we were wrong

Ne’er do wells and woe be gones

Feel no shame it won’t be long
