Nick Cave "Blind Lemon Jefferson" |
Blind Lemon Jefferson is a comin' Tap tap tappin' with his cane Blind Lemon Jefferson is a comin' Tap tap tappin' with his cane His last ditch lies down the road of trials Half filled with rain O sycamore, sycamore! Stretch your arms across the storm Down fly two greasy brother crows They hop and bop, they hop and bop, they hop and bop Like the tax man come to call They go knock knock, knock knock Hop and bop, hop and bop, hop and bop They slap a death writ on his door Here come the judgment train, get on board And turn that big black engine home Let's roll, let's roll, down the tunnel, the terrible tunnel of his world Waitin' at his final station, like a bigger blacker third bird Let's roll, let's roll, let's roll O, his road is dark and lonely He don't drive no Cadillac O, his road is dark and holy He don't drive no Cadillac If that sky serves as his eyes Then that moon is a cataract Let's roll, roll, yeah, let's roll Yeah, let's roll, let's roll Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
