Testo Mockingbird - Anaïs Mitchell
Testo della canzone Mockingbird (Anaïs Mitchell), tratta dall'album Hymns for the Exiled
Hush you little baby, don't you say a word
Here comes the devil all dressed up like a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird should try to steal you off the ground
Mama's gonna grab on tight and hold you down
Down, down
Mama can you tell me, where did my money go?
What did the devil sell me, 'cause I don't even know
He's been pecking in my pockets, diving round my door
Trying to take me with him, what does he want me for?
Mama told me
Don't let go the ground
Somebody hold me
And hold me down
Down
Got a devil on my shoulder hollering, beating his red wings
Saying Polly want a dollar, don't care if you can sing
Put down that guitar now darlin', you can't really play it
No matter what you got to say, don't know how to say it
Mama told me
Don't let go the ground
Now somebody hold me
And hold me down
What's this coming, what's this coming, coming over me?
I can't stand myself, I can't even stand on my own feet
But Mama told me
Don't let go the ground
Somebody hold me
And hold me down
Down
