about

One Part Gin play dark folk music that is thickly splattered with blood, grit and gloom. Melodies and pain collide as you follow in the forlorn footsteps of fools. Sam and Holly will light their lanterns and lead into the shadows where narratives of a hopeless family tree interweave. Can you find hope when all seems lost? What lengths would you go to to prove your love? Drink up, tear up, grab a whiskey and press play…
This track was recorded with Richard Pleasance in Hepburn, Victoria.

lyrics

when i die throw my body
in the old black river that runs to the east
i'll float on my back to the naked sea
and always felt at home when she's with me

when i die throw my ashes into
the warm summer wind as it breathes on you
but tie your hair back so i can see your eyes
with the ribbon you wore the day your daddy died

didnt ur mama teach u how to pray
to the good lord waiting on judgement day
tell my kin that i'll miss them too
and one day i'll be back for you

when i die you can bury me
in the cold cold ground by the willow tree
where the little wolves howl to feel brave
let them sing to me when im lying in my grave

didnt ur mama teach u how to pray
to the good lord waiting on judgement day
tell my kin that i'll miss them too
and one day i'll be back for you

and when im dead will you sing my song
when im 6 foot deep where they said i belong
put your ear to the earth and listen good
cuz im singing to you through the dead dead wood
