Lyrics:
On Egypt's land, contagious to the Nile
Auld Pharaoh's daughter
She went to bathe in style
She took her dip and come unto the land
And for to dry her royal pelt
She ran along the strand
And a bulrush tripped her whereupon she saw
A lovely smiling babby all in a wad of straw
She took the babby up and
Says she in accents mild
"Oh tar-an-a-gers, girls now
Which one of yis owns the child?"
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
Words hung above, but never would form
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
Remember me love when I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
Had no idea on what ground I was founded
All of that goodness is gone with you now
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is gone with you now
Dragging along, following your form
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
I was housed by your warmth, thus transformed
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
Words hung above, but never would form
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
I'd no idea on what ground I was founded
All of that goodness is going with you now
Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is going with you now
Dragging along, following your form
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
I was housed by your warmth, but I was transformed
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
Words hung above, but never would form
Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
Remember me love when I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
Had no idea on what ground I was founded
All of that goodness is gone with you now
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is gone with you now
Dragging along, following your form
Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
I was housed by your warmth, thus transformed
By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
Remember me love, when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
This ain't no double entendre
This ain't no euphemism
This is real life
I'm describing a natural disaster
Mud flow
Land mass shifting beneath our feet
Houses, floating on down the street
Debris, wreck and ruin
Bobbing along like butter would not melt
Deluge never ending
And the raindrops never cease to pelt
Mudslide
It's hard to see the upside of a mudslide
I simply can't abide this deadly mudslide
Way down deep inside I hate you mudslide
Mudslide
Neighbors thus far I have managed to avoid
Flounder as they're drawn
Deep down into the watery void
Gesticulating wildly,
But it's awkward so I wave ta-ta
The distant cries of anguish
Play havoc with my cha cha
Mudslide
It's hard to see the upside of a mudslide
I simply can't abide this deadly mudslide
Way down deep inside I hate you mudslide
Mudslide
Somewhere under the mud flow
Way down low there lies
My dear beloved gazebo
Mudslide
It's hard to see the upside of a mudslide
I simply can't abide this deadly mudslide
Way down deep inside I hate you
Do you know what this is?
Who said that money was everything
Well, that's a crock, you know what I'm sayin'
When the well runs dry
Say goodbye to your fair-weather friends
If I need a hug
And I feel like crawling under a rug
If I fell on my face
I know that you'd be there to help me up
'Cause it's you, only you that makes me strong
Ain't nobody gonna make me live my life alone
A friend won't leave me lying in the road
While the others they just pelt me with their sticks and stones
Won't steal my money
Won't rob my home or take my honey
A friend will always be there when I grow old
You know, lovers they come and go
Like ships to a dock, a bunch of heartbreakers they are
They blind you with their innocence
Tie your heart in knots
If I need some hope
And I feel I'm at the end of my rope
You make that funny face
You're always there to cheer me up
'Cause it's you, only you to take me along
Ain't nobody I'd rather have to help me sing a song
A friend won't leave me lying in the road
While the others they just pelt me with their sticks and stones
Won't steal my money
Won't rob my home or take my honey
A friend will always be there when I grow old
'Cause it's you, only you that makes me strong
Ain't nobody I'd rather have to help me sing a song
A friend won't leave me lying in the road
While the others they just pelt me with their sticks and stones
Won't steal my money
Won't rob my home or take my honey
A friend will always be there when I grow old
Won't think it's funny
Will stand for me when others call me a dummy
A friend will always be there when I grow
A friend will always be there when I grow
A friend will always be there when I grow old
In my hand is a chisel
For the chip on my shoulder
I can't afford no
Spewing energy
You say the sky cries along with me
Passive aggressive man
Trying to trade in human misery
Let go of better wisdom
Acting subtle and willing full
Drifting along a shy smile
Beckoning cynicism
Stranded black heart
The lamb pelts his skin
Wolf takes his first breath
Black eager heart
Harlot's sun disguised as fake
If this old hat could talk, I wonder what it'd say to you
What'd it tell you about that girl he met in 92
All the songs he sang, all the nights alone
If this old hat could talk, he'd be here all night long
If this old hat could talk, it would talk about the tears
All the broken hearts he left, all the wasted years
Playin' in those honky tonks and smoky bars
If this old hat could talk, about sleepin' underneath the stars
Some say it ain't nothin' more than an old beaver pelt
But every story it holds, I've lived and felt
Just an old cowboy hat that's now been tucked away
Along with all the stories it holds from yesterday
If this old hat could talk, it would talk about respect
When it was held to his heart, or, the head it would protect
How it represented hard work and it still does today
If this old hat could talk, well, that's what it would say
Some say it ain't nothin' more than an old beaver pelt
But every story it holds, I've lived and felt
Just an old cowboy hat that's now been tucked away
Along with all the stories it holds from yesterday
Some say it ain't nothin' more than an old beaver pelt
But every story it holds, I've lived and felt
Yes, every story it holds, I've lived and felt
Dragging along your dead body
Forced abortion
Spewing blood all over the floor
Perverse exposure
Seeking through your entrails
For infant blood
Recollect the fucking child
For violation
Seeking through pregnant women to
Recollect their unborn child
Ripping them out their mothers and
Eating them on the ground
Seeking through pregnant women to
Recollect their unborn child
Taking out the fucking infants and
Smashing them on the ground
Bleeding out all of your life
As your soul escapes your eyes
You can't escape
My final judgement
To begin the ritual
I will take your infants life
Use it's pure unequal blood
And offer it to my god
Perfectly matching the sky
Blood shot red the moonlight shines
And once all is said and done
He will rise
Finally my god has come
He ignites a burning rage
And melts all human race
Pelts of human flesh
Devourer of worlds
Growing piles of the unborn
Putrid waste of human flesh
I will help end human race
Feeding the devourer
Pelts of flesh and bone
Now initiate
The end of everything!
Depredation – Unjustified
Decimation – Turn the tide
Each day dogs are found
Along the highways ran over by cars
Others discovered in forests
Astray or tied to trees and starved...
Through life all her...worries melt
The happiness of petting... a furry pelt.
But gut punch to face. Get fury's belt.
Shopping at Tysons how lucky I felt.
Stab to the wallet it grew a big welt.
Amber Alert
I fear it's been too long
We used to go out all the time
Amber Alert
Where has your fun gone?
You buried it with your father's hide
Along with your faith
Your courage
Your laughter
Your childhood memories
And all of your pride
But who am I?
It was the night and day for carnival
And you want to pelt your waist
Just put a ski mask over your face
So if you see me for the carnival
Just take a whine and move along
You doh have to tell me gal
Cause she doh really give a dam atal
Cause I be dressed up and laced up in De fete

Jim Bridger (Larry W Jones 8/04/2018) (song #7261)
Jim Bridger was a mountain man
The Rocky Mountains he called home
Jim Bridger was a huntin’ man
For pelts of beavers he was known
Jim Bridger couldn’t read or write
A blacksmith apprentice when young
But toward the West he set his sight
And his lone wanderings far flung
A toast I lift to Jim Bridger
It’s no boast to that man of fame
If I could drift with Jim Bridger
A mountain man would be my aim
Jim Bridger knew Colorado
And all along the Great Divide
The Green River and Yellowstone
O’re mountain passes he did ride
A toast I lift to Jim Bridger
It’s no boast to that man of fame
If I could drift with Jim Bridger
A mountain man would be my aim
Jim Bridger was a mountain man
The Rocky Mountains he called home
Jim Bridger was a mountain man
Along with Jim I’d like to roam
Setting out from Montreal when he was twenty-one
In 1798, far from the peaks of Switzerland
Charles Ermatinger was the name he took along
As he paddled to his fate and sang this happy song
As he paddled to his fate and sang this happy song
In a big birchbark canoe he traveled ''til he ached
Arriving that first winter in a place near Sandy Lake
To live with the Ojibway and to trade for their pelts
All this he accomplished and even something else
All this he accomplished and even something else
He fell in love and married the daughter of the chief
All before the spring of' 99 had sprung a leaf
He traveled far and wide like those fur traders do
And then he sang this song as he paddled for the Sault
And then he sang this song as he paddled for the Sault
Charles and Mananowe made Sault Ste.
In the hollow wood, there lived an owl
She kept her eyes set on the south
But when the morning sun did rise
She turned her head to see the sights
Of the golden sunlight
And the way it painted the sky
Each living creature, both pure and good
Made a home in the hollow wood
High o'er the owl, there lived a crow
He laughed and called to creatures below
And all his treasure he did stow
The joys of courtship to know
In the goldеn sunlight
And the way it painted the sky
Each living creature, both pure and good
Made a home in the hollow wood
A young red squirrel also did play
Ran with her kin from break of day
From skyward spring to knotted base
She everywhere did give them chase
In the golden sunlight
And the way it painted the sky
Each living creature, both pure and good
Made a home in the hollow wood
Into the wood one day did come
A logging man of axe and gun
He set his eyes upon that tree
And said full felled ye soon shall be
For I must keep my family dry
And keep my children warm at night
I seek no pelt nor flesh to eat
But come o' wood along with me
Through the golden sunlight
And the way it painted the sky
Each living creature, both pure and good
Made a home in the hollow wood
And so he hewed with all his might
Until at length the axe fell quiet
The creatures having fled the din
Returned to where their home had been
In the golden sunlight
And the way it painted the sky
Each living creature around there stood
And bade farewell to the hollow wood
Time, you moving fast
Thiefing all the sand from the hour glass
Time, you moving fast
Thiefing all the sand from the hourglass
There is no pretender, no contender for your crown
Into dust you grind them down
Against you who could last
When what is present is already past
Time you bad like a crab
You don't ask you reach out and grab
No manners at all
Always eating, belly never full
So why you can't just take a break
To digest what you already ate
Time, you moving fast
Thiefing all the sand from the hourglass
Against your hand there is no defense
And though we go to great expense
To hide your passing and its signs
We know you don't leave no one behind
Time you bad like a beast
You only give what you intend to thief
You pull the tree out from the seed
Then suck the green from out the leaf
You pelt the sun from east to west
Time, why you don't give yourself a rest
Time, why you moving so
Why you always in a rush to go
Everything made by our hand
Is just a castle built of sand
Waiting for that coming wave
That will wash it all away
Time, why you can't stick around
Why you always have to rush along?
If we can't get it right
Let's live tonight with
(Inspired)
Inspired excitement (Inspired excitement)
This desire's ignited
(Ignited)
In the middle of the fight is the wrong time
To decide we're divided
Trying to run from ourselves
Telling the secrets
We think
We're hiding
It ain't easy
Everybody has needs
Not talking trashy
Intimacy isn't just smashing
There's layers to build
If it's gonna be lasting
Firm foundation first
Communication work
If you're with the one
There's no one can come
Anywhere near between you
And the love
Come to hold so dearly
Dug dip in fear to be here
Deceived by each before
But ready to let you even the score
Treated people wrong
History is strong
Think most of us just waiting
For the other to mutter move along
If that's true for you
Might examine
Wutcha had to do with
Why it happened
If we can't get it right
Let's live tonight with
Inspired excitement
This desire's ignited
In the middle of the fight
Is the wrong time
To decide we're divided
Trying to run from ourselves
Telling the secrets
We think
We're hiding
The lies we tell each other
Eventually become unhealthy remedies
Melded into delicate memories
Developing our sense of being felt
Even helping us understand
Why we need
Understanding itself
Demanding as hell
When staffing well
And if that isn't gonna work
I prefer that you pack your pelts
Get up and out
If ya ain't about the real
Still love me now
Know just how I feel?
Though the hills are groaning with excess
Like a table ceaselessly being set
Oh my darling, we will get there yet
They trooped past the guards
Past the coops, and the fields
And the farmyards, all night till finally
The space they gained grew much farther than
The stone that Bear threw
To mark where they'd stop for tea
But Walk a little faster, don't look backwards
Your feast is to the East, which lies a little past the pasture
And the blackbirds hear tea whistling they rise and clap
And their applause caws the kettle black
And we can't have none of that
Move along, Bear, there, there, that's that
Though cast in plaster
Our Ursula's heart beat faster
Than monkey's ever will
But still, they had got to pay the bills
Hadn't they?
Chin up, Boss
Someone’s gonna come along and love you big
You still got it, Hoss
It’s not time to run and get that wig
You’re not a silverback yet
You’re still a virile ape
You've got the best digestion
You've got the right escape
(For you)
Stay pro, Son
No one ever won the game quite like this
And don’t stress, Hon
You don’t wanna be the one to break that wrist
You’re not a rat in a maze
You’ve got the end in sight
You’re not a dove in a cage
More like a chicken in flight
SO FLY!
The land brings money and brings power, is it myth or reality? Truck full of pelts, and huntin all winter, thats a country boy’s dream to me.
Listen now while echo’s loud, while the trains are rollin.
My wrist is on freeze These bitches on me
I stick it and leave this dick isn’t free that clip is on me I stick it and leave
Make the trap jump like a trampoline got the strap and a backpack packed with tree/ fill my blunt up with gasoline hit the blunt hit the trunk with that packaging/ the pack on me like a dispensary so if I take an L it’s still a victory/ if we ain’t got no chemistry ill still fuck but this dick ain’t free/ you gotta pay the fee don’t play with me cuz you be fuckin niggas that’s lame to me/ I’m so high you need a crane to reach these birds still peck tryna get with me/ so many birds I need an aviary you local I think planetary for global domination my plan a vary I plan to carry my high Class military/ wrist frozen my gold ice skating beitch I’m colder than January/ put these rappers in a cemetery like global warming with their ice melting/ skinny bitches I might pelt em I snatch souls she say I’m handsome/ I keep me a private dancer that get nasty on camera/ gotta thick bitch that sends me lit clips rubbin her clit to my music got spider webs tatted on her tits and her nipples pierced she so groovy/ gotta white bitch that stalks my shit ain’t had thee dick yet she stupid/ I got so many women choosing I look in my DMs and just choose one/
My dick game got haters mad got 100 hoes I maneuvered in from 34th and layman ave you can check the streets I grew up in/ she come back ima boomerang leave cum stains on her pillowcase unless she swallow and blow my brains after I kill the pussy won’t catch a case/ I’m catching plays I can’t catch a break it’s fourth and late I can’t afford mistakes/ I been the man since fourth grade this the winners circle you fourth place/ I’m never runner up and never pay to play I play the game fighting a court case/ still coming up they still coming over flashbacks to when they pulled me over/ can’t rewind no remote controller take me back when they ain’t fuck me over/ I’m never sober so I hide my eyes I hide the pain too deep inside/ I did the time cuz I did my crime but the COs fucked with my mind/ can’t walk in my shoes not half a mile half my life I been a problem child/ locked up in high school they thought I’d fail but look at me now/ I re up everyday got battle scars from the life style/ she wanna tag along in my catalog but you can’t be my wife now/ got a higher plan on the diagram I’m eating good you on a diet plan/
All that I want
Losing my way
I don't give up
It's a new day
Losing myself
Always forgave
Gotta get through
I'll find a way
Always forgave
Gotta get through
I'll find a way
All that I want
Losing my way
I don't give up
Gotta stop
And wait a minute
We can talk
And we can fix it
Take a walk
And just forget shit
Here's a chomp
Let's eat some biscuits
Gotta stop
And wait a minute
We can talk
And we can fix it
Take a walk
And just forget shit
Here's a chomp
Let's eat some biscuits
Fuck the triscuits, let's risk it all for some Oreos
Oh the perfect story goes the minute you on your lonely own
You unknownly know of all the groans and tones and homes and thrones
As if you can foresee all the forsakings and chances blown
But in reality you're aching and all your faults are shown
And you feel weak in the mind and you feel weak in the bones
And you realize in these hard times that ya never knew you or or what to do
Or what it ever meant to be strong all along
Gotta stop
And wait a minute
We can talk
And we can fix it
Take a walk
And just forget shit
Here's a chomp
Let's eat some biscuits
Gotta stop
And wait a minute
We can talk
And we can fix it
Take a walk
And just forget shit
Here's a chomp
Let's eat some biscuits
I lose my cool and then I lose myself
I feel out of control and then I start to yell
And I know that's wrong and I know that you can tell
How every step I take feels like fuckin Hell
But my feet are fuckin strong so I keep on walking well
Still there's never an excuse for losing your mind or health
And you'll never hear me rage bout all the cards I been dealt
I got my health I built up stealth you can pelt but I don't welt
And if I bleed don't worry for me cus I don't need your help
That's to the whole world, I've seen what you fools are all about
I prefer to take the guarantee, with me there's no doubt
I'll stay in my lane and deal with my pain and you can jam it out
Gotta stop
And wait a minute
We can talk
And we can fix it
Take a walk
And just forget shit
Here's a chomp
Let's eat some biscuits
Gotta stop
And wait a minute
We can talk
And we can fix it
Take a walk
And just forget shit
Here's a chomp
Let's eat some biscuits
I take responsibility of all my damn mistakes
But I've grown a whole lot through the risks I've chosen to take
So I'll put a bullet to my brain before I ever take the blame
Of something I didn't do, that's y'all's favorite word, it's fake
And my pops instilled me to live life with full honesty
Dude would hurt himself before he ever told a lie to me
Whether it was Santa or his cancer as he died so tragically
He could see in my eyes that he was everything to me
Oh let it be
Oh poor me
Daddy died lemme cry and make you feel so sorry
But I share my pain, otherwise I'm drained and scared to sleep
I feel ashamed try to tame
Nightmare scenes
Deathly dreams
PTSD
It's happening
Gotta stop
And wait a minute
We can talk
And we can fix it
Take a walk
And just forget shit
Here's a chomp
Let's eat some biscuits
Gotta stop
