Crash on the levee, mama, water's gonna overflow. Swamp's gonna rise, ain't no boat's a gonna row. Now, you can train on down to Williams Point. . You can bust your feet and you can rock this joint.
Now I got a gal that's sweet to me,. But she just ain't what she used to be. Just a little high headed; That's plain to see. Don't get above your raisin' Stay down to earth with me..
Well, I've been all around this whole wide world. Been down to sunny Alabama. My mama always told me. "Son never let your deal go down". . Oh honey don't let your deal go down.
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe it don't matter anyhow. It ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe if you don't know by now. When the roosters crows at the break of dawn.
On this old rock pile with a ball and chain. They call me by a number not a name, Lord, Lord. Gotta do my time, gotta do my time. With an aching heart and a worried mind.
On this old rock pile with a ball and chain. They call me by a number not a name, Lord, Lord. Gotta do my time, gotta do my time. With an aching heart and a worried mind.
Dig dig a little deeper in the well boys. Dig a little deeper in the well. If you want a good cool drink of water. You gotta dig a little deeper in the well..
Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music. Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand. Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music. You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man.
Now when I left the old home I wasn't satisfied. When I kissed mother goodbye I thought she hung her head and cried. I hear the Special comin' and I'll be on the line.
Last night I went to sleep in Detroit City and dreamed about the life I left at home. I dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brother. I dreamed about the girl who's been waiting for so long.
Wake up wake up darling Corey. What makes you sleep so sound. The revenue officers are coming. They're gonna tear your still-house down.. . Well the first time I seen darling Corey.
I am here, right here. Where god puts none asunder. And you, in black dress and black shoe. You do invite me under. Go on, go there. You can see me aging.
The ocean is blue. I know it's blue. . Someday I must die. It ain't for me to know why. And I want to die in the sea. . So I let go now. It's symbol and howl.
I thought. There'd be a man in a suit and a ten-gallon hat. He'd give me a deal and a red Cadillac. And I'd make hit records and get hooked on drugs. But I wound up pregnant and strung out on love.
you used to bring carnations and send me poetry,. you used to sing me love songs and record them on cd,. ever since you left i feel like love is a disease,.
Time'll tell the seeds I sow. Got into trouble but you just don't know. You thought you had me. You're wondering why. Whosoever told you. Told a dirty lie.
Do you love an apple?. Do you love a pear?. Do you love a laddy with curly brown hair?. Why yes I love him, I'll never deny him,. I'll always love him 'till the day that I die.
I know my part. I'll bring up the rear. I'll eat the dust. You know, I don't care. That's what I do. I'll get 'em through. I'm driving the herd. . I sing them to sleep.
I'm just driftwood. Drifting with the winds that blow across the sky. I can't always be here with you, babe. I'm just driftwood drifting by. . Our lives came together.
