You'll Get No More of Me

Hazel Jane Dickens (June 1, 1935 – April 22, 2011) was an American bluegrass singer, songwriter, double bassist and guitarist. Her music was characterized not only by her high, lonesome singing style, but also by her provocative pro-union, feminist songs. Cultural blogger John Pietaro noted that "Dickens didn’t just sing the anthems of labor, she lived them and her place on many a picket line, staring down gunfire and goon squads, embedded her into the cause." The New York Times extolled her as "a clarion-voiced advocate for coal miners and working people and a pioneer among women in bluegrass music." With Alice Gerrard, Dickens was one of the first women to record a bluegrass album. more »

As you go from me, you want all that's left, 
The last thread of pride in my heart. 
'Til you've wrung the last teardrop from my eye, 
You won't be satisfied. 
[Chorus] 
So, take your cold, unloving heart, 
Your eyes too blinded to see 
Oh, you never found the door to this heart of mine, 
You'll get no more of me. 
You have raked my heart like a cruel winter storm, 
Bending my branches so low. 
Oh, your wayward heart and your tortured soul 
Leave no memory worthy to hold 
[Chorus] 

So, I'll take back my heart from the $%^&*# (wh-something) 
I'll hang my tears out to dry. 
And I'll hang my head in sorrow no more, 
And no more tears will I cry. 
[Chorus]
