lyrics

COPPER WIRE


I’m just a nigger’s prayer
Rot on a live wire
Well, you cross the chalk circle
Catch your feet on fire
In my body were many bloods
You’ll find my feet in old Misssissippi mud

Ch. Show me morning
Show me stars that fall like rain
But honey I know
The morning’s as sweet as cane.

Red nigger moon
Gonna come out tomorrow.
I’ll be sleeping soon
On a shoulder of sorrow.
Hurricane was stopped with just one hand
Keep me down - dissatisfied man.

Ch.

Poor belly empty
Wait for poor river bring
Well ‘cross the fields
You hear the nigger sing
I’m just a cotton wad in your
I throw up both hands
And belly up tears.

Ch.

Let the river flow…
Carry me away…
