Tupelo - 2009 Remastered Version

Looka yonder
 Looka yonder
 Looka yonder
 A big black cloud come
 A big black cloud come
 O comes to Tupelo
 Come to 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
 (Tupelo)
 O Tupelo
 In a valley hides a town called Tupelo
 Well, distant thunder rumble
 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
 Woah, woah, woah
 Tupelo bound
 (Tupelo)
 Yeah, oh 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!
 You can say these streets are rivers
 You can call these rivers streets
 You can tell yourself you're dreaming buddy
 But no sleep runs this deep
 No, no sleep runs this deep
 No, 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
 Tupelo's shame
 O God help Tupelo!
 O God help Tupelo!
 O God help Tupelo!
 O God help Tupelo!
 O go to sleep little children
 The Sandman's on his way
 O go to sleep little children
 The Sandman's on his way
 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
 Sandman's mud
 The Sandman's mud
 The Sandman's mud
 The Sandman's mud
 And 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
 'Til the King is born in Tupelo
 ♪
 In a clap-board shack with a roof of tin
 Where the rain crashed down and leaked within
 A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
 And a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
 Tupelo
 O Tupelo
 In 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
 Sunday morning the first-born dead
 In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
 Tupelo
 O Tupelo
 In a shoebox buried with a ribbon of red
 O mama rock you lil' one slow
 Mama rock your baby
 Mama rock your lil' one slow
 God help Tupelo, God help Tupelo
 Mama rock your lil' one slow
 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
 Tears obliterate upon a throne
 Hills obliterate upon a throne
 Wipe that seat, fan it down
 Ripped and married and killed away
 The King will walk on Tupelo
 The King will walk on Tupelo
 And carry the burden of Tupelo
 And carry the burden of Tupelo
 And carry the burden of Tupelo
 O Tupelo
 Yeah, the King will walk on Tupelo (Tupelo)
 Tupelo
 Tupelo
 The King will walk on Tupelo (Tupelo)
 O Tupelo
 O Tupelo
 Yeah the King will walk on Tupelo (Tupelo)
 Yeah, on Tupelo
 He carried the burden outta Tupelo (Tupelo)
 Yeah, yeah Tupelo
 He carried the burden outta Tupelo (Tupelo)
 Hey, hey, hey Tupelo
 He carried the burden outta Tupelo (Tupelo)
 Yeah, yeah, yeah Tupelo
 You will reap just what you sow
 O Tupelo
