Mockingbird |
| 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? |
| 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- hold me down |
| i got the devil on my shoulder- hollering- beating his red wing |
| saying «polly wanna dollar, i don’t care if you can sing» |
| and «put down that guitar, now, darlin', you can’t really play it |
| don’t matter what you got to say- you don’t know how to say it» |
| bridge |
| 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 |
