Testo The City - Lady Blackbird
Testo della canzone The City (Lady Blackbird), tratta dall'album Slang Spirituals
Lucille was a mother workin' for the man
Hardworking women always got a plan
She'll get there
We'll get there
Get money for the kids and collect the pay
Save that money, gonna move away
To get there
We'll get there
She never thought a struggle was more than a bet
And you never learn nothing from the good times that you get
Show me the joy in the city
No time for pity
Love down and dirty
You take me
Make me laugh 'til tomorrow
No time for sorrow
Beg, steal, and borrow
Just take me there
If you can't find it in the heart of the city
If you can't find it in the city
Tommy was a crypto millionaire
Lean in his walk with the jet black hair
He get there
He got there
See him wave with a winning hand
She caught the eye of a well-fed man
She got there
They get there
He never thought a struggle was more than a bet
When two worlds collide, look what you get
Show me the joy in the city
No time for pity
Love down and dirty
You take me
Make me laugh 'til tomorrow
No time for sorrow
Beg, steal, and borrow
Just take me there
If you can't find it in the heart of the city
If you can't find it in the city
Here they are, covered in spring
Chime, chime, chime
And the church bells ring
They got there
They got there
Show me the joy in the city
No time for pity
Love down and dirty
You take me
Make me laugh 'til tomorrow
No time for sorrow
Beg, steal, and borrow
Just take me there
If you can't find it in the heart of the city
If you can't find it in the city
Isn't it-, isn't it a pity?
