Lirik Tupelo (live) (Live)
Looka yonder looka yonder
Looka yonder a big black cloud come
A big black cloud come
O comes to tupelo comes to tupelo
Yonder on the horizon
Yonder on the horizon
Stopped at the mighty river
Stopped at the mighty river and
Sucked the d**n thing dry
Tupelo o o o tupelo
In a valley hides a town called tupelo
Distant thunder rumble distant thunder rumble
Rumble hungry like the beast
The beast it cometh cometh down
The beast it cometh cometh down
Wo wo wo o o
Tupelo bound tupelo o o yeah tupelo
The beast it cometh tupelo bound
Why the hen won't lay no egg
Can't get that cock to crow
The nag is spooked and crazy
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
Ya can say these streets are rivers
Ya can call these rivers streets
Ya can tell ya self ya dreaming 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
Tupelos' shame tupelo's shame
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
O go to sleep lil children
The sandmans on his way
O go to sleep lil children
The sandmans in his way
But the lil 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
They listen to the beating of their blood
The sandman's mud
The sandman's mud
And the black rain come down
The black rain come down
The black rain come down
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
In tupelo tupelo o o
'Til 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 o o 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 of red
Tupelo o o hey tupelo
In a shoebox buried with a ribbon of red
O ma ma rock you lil' one slow
O ma ma rock your baby
O ma ma rock your lil' one slow
O god help tupelo o god help tupelo
Mama rock your lil' one slow
The lil one will walk on tupelo
The lil one will walk on tupelo
Black rain come down black rain come down
Tupelo o o yeah tupelo
And carry the burden of tupelo
Tupelo o o o tupelo yeah
The king will walk on tupelo
Tupelo o o o tupelo
He carried the burden outa tupelo
You will reap just what you sow
