Lyrics:
Welcome to H Town, yeah
Welcome to H Town, whoa
They say the boy's ridin' clean
But without the King
What does it really mean
Cup full of lean, got
around from town to town
Till they're back out on these fields
Where they fall from my hand
Back into the dirt of this hard land
Now me and my sister
the boys finally made it through the wall
And cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haul
In the darkness by the riverbed they
I talked to my sister in Memphis
And told her you were movin' to town
Here's her number
She said she'd be glad to show you around
I left a map
the line that he crossed
It's been over a year instead of a week
Here in our house, our house by the creek
Me and my family live in the Netherlands
In
biscuit city by and by
If it were not for misfortune
I would stay in biscuit city 'til I die
This morning when you got there and it was quiet
And the machines were yearning soft behind you
Yearning for that nigga to come and give up his life
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's offering
Some say
the evening for a spoon
Call around tomorrow night
We can then put out that fire in the furnace
My mama will sure be out of town
She'll be entertained by
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it?s sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it?s offering
Some say
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
It's only when the high winds blow that I wish my hair was long
Sailing through the autumn leaves singing an ancient
Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace
Await their place within the ring of calm
Still stand to turn in seconds of release
Await
the boys finally made it through the wall
And cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haul
In the darkness by the riverbed they
Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace
Await their place within the ring of calm
Still stand to turn in seconds of release
Await
into town"
"Look here, run this across the street for me right quick, okay?
Run it across the street for me"
"Hey, what?
Huh? I didn't know
What?
into town"
"Look here, run this across the street for me right quick, okay?
Run it across the street for me"
"Hey, what?
Huh? I didn't know
What?
Scrape the craters of the brain for data
Old scriptures on withered paper
Beginnin take shape and form
When the Gods get on it and crash your college
Scrape the craters of the brain for data
Old scriptures on withered paper
Beginnin take shape and form
When the Gods get on it and crash your college
around here, too, oh really
Misshapes, mistakes, misfits
We'd like to go to town but we can't risk it, oh
'Cause they just wanna keep us out
You
on the edge of town
Swim Sister Swim
Sink Sister Sink
Well time went by so quickly as it always seems to do
They each showed her a one
Cos one and one will make
another town.
Sister cry, count the stars.
Is many in the sky that passed you by.
Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes.
Somehow changes made
that keeps me clear
There's gonna be some lightnin' strike when I get outta here
(quiet bass/guitar/drums) Cause it payday, y'all
Better stay out my way
And the ship
The black freighter
Runs a flag up its masthead
And a cheer rings the air
By noontime the dock
Is a-swarmin' with men
Comin' out from
ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the border
Left the chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in
