| Look a-yonder, look a-yonder
|
| Look a-yonder, a big black cloud comes!
|
| Yes, a big black cloud comes
|
| Come to the Tupelo, come to the Tupelo
|
| Yonder on the horizon, yonder on the horizon
|
| Stopped at the mighty river, stopped at the mighty river
|
| And sucked the damn thing dry, and sucked-a the damn thing dry
|
| Tupelo-o!
|
| Oh, Tupelo, in a valley hides a town called Tupelo
|
| Distant thunder rumbles, distant thunder rumble
|
| Rumble hungry like the Beast, the Beast it cometh, cometh down
|
| The Beast it cometh, cometh down, the Beast it cometh, cometh down
|
| Wow-oh-oh, oh Tupelo bound
|
| Tupelo-o!
|
| Oh, Tupelo, the Beast it cometh, Tupelo bound
|
| Why the hen won’t lay no egg, can’t get that cock to crow
|
| The horse is spooked & crazy, oh God help a-Tupelo
|
| God help a-Tupelo, god help a-Tupelo
|
| Oh God help the Tupelo
|
| You can say these streets are rivers, you call these rivers streets
|
| You can tell yourself you’re dreamin' buddy, but no sleep runs this deep, no!
|
| No sleep runs this deep, no sleep runs this deep
|
| Women at their windows, rain crashing on the pane
|
| Writing in the frost, Tupelo’s shame, Tupelo’s shame, Tupelo’s shame
|
| God help Tupelo
|
| God help the Tupelo
|
| God help a-Tupelo
|
| God help a-Tupelo
|
| Oh, go to sleep little children, the sandman’s on his way
|
| Go to sleep little children, the sandman’s in his way
|
| But the little children know, but the little children know
|
| They listen to the beating of their blood
|
| Listen to the beating of their blood
|
| Listen to the beating of their blood!
|
| Listen to the beating of their blood!
|
| The sandman’s mud!
|
| The sandman’s mud!
|
| The sandman’s mud!
|
| The sandman’s mud!
|
| And the black rain come down
|
| The black rain come down
|
| Black rain come down
|
| Water, water everywhere
|
| Water, water everywhere
|
| Where no bird can fly, no fish can swim
|
| Where no bird can fly, no fish can swim
|
| No fish can swim until The King is born
|
| Until The King is born, until The King is born
|
| Tupelo-o!
|
| Oh, Tupelo, until The King is born in Tupelo.
|
| In a clap-board shack with a roof of tin
|
| Where the rain came down and leaked within
|
| A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
|
| With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
|
| Tupelo-o! |
| (Yeah! Yeah!)
|
| Hey, Tupelo!, with a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
|
| Well Saturday gives what Sunday steals
|
| And a child is born on his brothers heels
|
| Come Sunday morn the first-born dead
|
| In a shoebox tied with a ribbon red
|
| Tupelo-o! |
| (Yeah!)
|
| Oh Tupelo, in a shoebox buried with a ribbon red
|
| Mama, rock you lil' one slow
|
| Mama, rock your baby
|
| Mama, rock you lil' one slow
|
| Mama, rock your baby
|
| Mama, rock your baby
|
| Mama, rock your baby
|
| Mama, rock you lil' one slow
|
| Mama, rock your baby
|
| Mama, rock your baby
|
| Mama, rock your baby
|
| Til the King is a-born in a-Tupelo
|
| Til the King is a-born in a-Tupelo
|
| Til the King is a-born in a-Tupelo
|
| Til the King is a-born in a-Tupelo
|
| Mama, rock you lil' one slow
|
| Mother, rock your baby
|
| Mother, rock you lil' one slow
|
| Mother, rock your baby
|
| Til the King is a-born in a-Tupelo
|
| Til the King is a-born in a-Tupelo
|
| Til the King is a-born in a-Tupelo
|
| Til the King is a-born in a-Tupelo!
|
| Tupelo-o! |
| (Yeah! Yeah!)
|
| Tupelo, and carry the burden of Tupelo!
|
| Tupelo-o! |
| (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
|
| Tupelo, Tupelo, Tupelo, Tupelo…
|
| Yeah! |
| The King will walk on Tupelo!
|
| Tupelo-o! |
| (Yeah!)
