Southern Grammar |
One day I tried to kneel |
I tried to kneel but I could not |
They said, «Go ye to the holy house.» |
And I took the long way around |
Teacher, come teach me |
Another way to be happy |
«Hey, buddy boy, who’s asking? |
I’ve been looking for the same thing.» |
Chickamy, craney crow |
Craney crow’s a liar |
Eat a peach or let it go |
Yeah, you will take the long way home |
Southern grammar |
Father and child |
Let this be simple for a little while |
See is there work for me? |
Is there a hammer and a nail? |
Because I’m going that way anyway |
Through the crippled green country |
Teacher, come teach me |
Preacher, come reach me |
There’s another way to be happy |
And I’ve been looking for the same thing |
See is there life for me? |
Is there a wife and a baby? |
Because I’m going that way anyway |
Through the unfamiliar country |
Southern grammar |
Father and child |
Let this be simple for a little while |
Chickamy, craney crow |
Craney crow’s a liar |
Eat a peach or let it go |
Yeah, you will take the long way home |
Southern grammar |
Father and child |
Let’s just be simple for a little while |
