Biografia:
Ao contrário de muitos cantores folk norte-americanos, Sam Amidon não é um músico que baseia sua arte apenas nas tradições do campo e no estilo country. Filho de cantores folk, Sam já empunhava um banjo quando mal sabia falar e cresceu ouvindo música tradicional estadunidense muito além do country; a sua arte de hoje deve muito também à música indígena e àquela feita nas montanhas, solitária e contemplativa, de violão calmo e clima mais frio, de poucas exaltações.

[Verse]
D/H A A/F#
God's given us years of happiness here

Now we must part
D/H A A/F#
And as the angels come and call for you
A D D/F#-G Dx
The pangs of grief tug at my heart
[Chorus]
A D/A
Oh my darling, my darling
A A/F# D/G Dx Dy
My heart breaks as you take Your lone journey
[Verse]
D/H A A/F#
The days will be empty the nights so long

Without you my love
D/H A A/F#
And as God calls for you I'm left alone
A D D/F#-G Dx
But we will meet in heaven above
[Chorus]
A D/A
Oh my darling, my darling
A A/F# D/G Dx Dy
My heart breaks as you take Your lone journey
[Verse]

And when I come we will walk hand in hand

As one in heaven in the family of God
[Chorus]
A D/A
Oh my darling, my darling
A A/F# D/G Dx Dy
My heart breaks as you take Your lone journey
