Lyrics:
The Trailer of Woe 
(New Lyrics by NanaLou)

Thru trials great and sor-row, 
	Her grey head now en-shroud,
And her life’s sun is sett-ting 
	be-hind a dark-some cloud;
Yet still she’s fondly long-ing ___ 
	O would the day were come;
To see your shining faces, 
	At the Burgeron Trailer home.

‘Tis forty days and more now,
	Since from the Trailer you set,
And in The Village waters
	Cast forth your fishing net
And though you got a number
	To fill your house with store;
You still must ne’er forget thee,
	Your trailer home of yore.

All who have ears to hear it,
	Or tongues the tale to tell,
Come join with me in singing
	The woes that did befell;
How hundreds of our people
	From hill and glen were torn,
And far across the ocean
	From their loved trailer were borne

Farewell, dear friends and kinsfolk,
	Wherever you may roam,
Both young and old, in exile,
	Far from your trailer home;
And O, remember NanaLou,
	When laid her sirens among;
‘Twas cruel wrong and sorrow
	First wak’d her soul to song.


The Trailer Of Woe
