Uphill Mountain |
| Big Joe Tuner, Elmore James |
| Street survivor selling walking canes |
| Says: «Give your babies holy names for me» |
| Now I don’t know, but I’ve been told |
| You never grow up, you’ll never get old |
| You can watch the world being bought and sold |
| All on your T. V |
| Sometimes it gets a little rough |
| Like the wheel’s made of steel going an uphill mountain |
| Better stand tall if you’re gonna stand at all |
| And if you’re gonna fall, well you might as well fall |
| Build a house, make it home |
| Gonna make a place where I can be alone |
| Don’t the yard look pretty when it? |
| s overgrown? |
| Standing six feet tall |
| This ain’t right, but it’s a livin' |
| You got to take just what you are given |
| 'Cause luck only matters with the cards and the women |
| And sometimes not at all |
| Sometimes it gets a little rough |
| Like the wheel’s made of steel going an uphill mountain |
| Better stand tall if you’re gonna stand at all |
| And if you’re gonna fall, well you might as well fall |
| Peeping Tom said to Madame Rose: |
| I’ve seen you already without your clothes |
| Now what I suggest, honey what I propose is that |
| You see me without mine? |
| Tell John Henry and Cassius Clay |
| Swinging iron for a living is a hell of a way |
| But whatever you do don’t let your hammer stray |
| I believe we’ll be just fine |
| Sometimes it gets a little rough |
| Like the wheel’s made of steel going an uphill mountain |
| Better stand tall if you’re gonna stand at all |
| And if you’re gonna crawl, well you might as well crawl |
