Testo Cypress Grove - Skip James
Testo della canzone Cypress Grove (Skip James), tratta dall'album Today!
I would rather to be buried
In some cypress grove
I would rather to be buried
In some cypress grove
Than to have a contrary woman
Lord, I never can control
And when yo' knee bones go to achin'
And your body gettin' cold
When yo' knee bones go to achin'
And yo' body gettin' cold
You know, you're just gettin' ready
Honey, for some cypress grove
Then I would rather be buried
Six feet in the clay
Then I would rather to be buried
Six feet in the clay
Than to be way up here in New York City
Honey, treated this't-a-way
And I will drink muddy water
I'll sleep in a hollow log
I will drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log
Befo' I stay up here
Honey, treated like a dog
Yes, I'm goin' away
Honey, don't you want to go?
Yes, I'm goin' away
Honey, don't you want to go?
I'm scared to go back down south
Them people gonna kill me, sho'
I'm gonna sing this song
And I ain't goin' to sing no mo'
I'm goin' to sing this song, and I
I ain't goin' to sing no mo'
Because my time has done got precious
Baby, Lord, just got, I've got to go, yeah
