Higher Rock (martha Scanlan) Lyrics - Singles - Reeltime Travelers

Mary weeped over me 

Mary weeped over me 

Turned on dime, said to me 

When you reach for the higher rock 

Then you reach for me. 

Saul told David, come play for me 

Saul told David, come pray for me 

Trouble in mind won't let me be 

When you reach for the higher rock, 

Then you reach for me. 

Rock in the hand won't let you be 

Rock in the hand won't let you be 

It's the open hand, will set you free 

When you reach for the higher rock 

Then you reach for me 

Coal man say he's got a deal for me 

Coal man say he's got a deal for me 

That black gold a-chokin me 

When you reach for the higher rock, 

Then you reach for me. 

Shackle and chain cant settle me 

Shackle and chain cant settle me 

Been strung up on a dogwood tree 

When you reach for the higher rock 

Then you reach for me. 

Gilded cage is a treachery 

Gilded cage is a treachery 

Heart of gold that holds the key 

When you reach for the higher rock 

Then you reach for me.
