Tupelo (2009 Remastered Version)

Ah kook yonder
Ah kook yonder
Ah kook yonder a big black cloud come
A big black cloud come
Oh comes to Tupelo comes to Tupelo
Yonder on the horizon yonder on the horizon
Stopped at the mighty river stopped at the mighty river
Sucked the damn thing dry sucked the damn thing dry
Tupelo
Oh Tupelo in a valley hides a town called Tupelo
Well distant thunder rumble distant thunder rumble
Rumble hungry like the Beast beast it cometh cometh down
The Beast it cometh cometh down
The Beast it cometh cometh down
Wo wo woooooooo
Tupelo bound
Tupelo
Yeah ah 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 God help Tupelo
Oh God help Tupelo
Oh God help Tupelo
Oh God help Tupelo
You can say these streets are rivers
You can call these rivers streets
You can tell yourself 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 Tupelos' shame Tupelo's shame
Tupelos' shame Tupelo's shame
Oh God help Tupelo oh God help Tupelo
Oh God help Tupelo oh God help Tupelo
Oh go to sleep little children the sandmans on his way
Oh go to sleep little children the sandmans 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 the black rain come down
Oh water water everywhere water water everywhere
Where no bird can fly no fish can swim
No bird can fly no fish can swim
No fish can swim until the King is born
Until the King is born
In Tupelo till The King is born in Tupelo
In a clapboard 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
Oh 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
Sunday morn the first born dead
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
Tupelo
Oh Tupelo
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
O mama rock you little one slow
