Song language: English
Walking into Clarksdale |
| When I was born I was running |
| As my feet hit the ground |
| Before I could talk I was humming |
| An old railroad sound |
| Things didn’t get much better |
| When by the age of five |
| They found me walking into Clarksdale |
| Trying to keep my friends alive |
| No time for celebration |
| Now there’s no known cure |
| Seeing I was born and raised |
| On the wrong killing floor |
| And my loved ones gathered round |
| To see the experiment at work |
| I was misplaced out of time |
| Never rich — never worse |
| Oh momma, please don’t cry for me Tears to the river — tears to be free |
| And I see twelve white horses walking in line |
| Moving east across the metal bridge |
| On highway forty-nine |
| And standing in the shadows of a burnt out motel |
| The King of Commerce Mississippia waited with his hound from hell |
| A shiny neon riverboat taking income from the poor |
| It’s floating by the levee in an artifical pool |
| There’s a six-mile tailback back out of junction 304 |
| A stranger at the crossroads |
| I believe I’d seen his face before |
| Oh, don’t cry for me Tears fill the river — tears to be free |
| I’m sad to be leaving |
| The sun’s gone down and I’ve really got to go now |
| Sad to be leaving |
| The sun’s gone down — I’ve really got to go now |
| Yeah, really got to go now |
| I’ve got to go — I’ve got to move |
| Sad to be leaving |
| Sun’s gone down — I’ve really got to go now |
| Sad to be leaving |
| The sun’s gone down and I’ve really got to go now |
| Yeah, really got to go now |
