| Called to madonna
|
| To give me a line
|
| She said, boy what have you done
|
| Passing your time with a holy man
|
| Talking of the moon and sun
|
| But I can’t tell the difference
|
| Between the fool and wise
|
| Show me a river to follow
|
| Away from all these lies…
|
| I’ve been on my own so long
|
| Won’t you lend me your hand
|
| I’ve been pickin' up my bones too long
|
| Won’t you understand
|
| Called to the captain
|
| To put me ashore
|
| For it looked like no man’s land
|
| Is this the way to follow
|
| I cried as I shook his hand
|
| He told me he had no answer
|
| He didn’t really hold the key
|
| I am a simple man
|
| Was all he said to me
|
| I’ve been on my own so long
|
| Won’t you lend me your hand
|
| I’ve been pickin' up my bones too long
|
| Won’t you understand
|
| I’ve been on my own so long
|
| Won’t you lend me your hand
|
| I’ve been pickin' up my bones too long
|
| Won’t you understand |
