lyrics

Silas makin' his keep, down on Lafeyette St
I ain't ridin' off in no one's sunset here except mine
Baby you can sing it til your water turns wine, honey that's fine
But you're a lover not a leaver, I ain't askin' you to be kind

Old Tom Jefferson down the creek
Playin' that old-time autoharp, singin' me to sleep
Playin' pied piper, old lullabying fiend, Tommy that's keen
Singin' black crook blues, I ain't never had a bad dream

Always talk about leavin' when the work gets tough
Got to Amarillo on a five-card bluff
Takes a little blood, takes a little luck
Takes a little dipper for to fill my cup

No Cairo city gonna crush my heel, ain't no promised land to boast my yield
No use takin' it to heart, never get to know how the West Bank feels if you dally in the dark
How's the weather, Nile Child?
Black cat got my back to the boons
