Текст песни "The Foxfire Suite II"


I. Dear Lord

Now the star is restin', settin' on the hill
Nothing is soundin' but a whippoorwill

Down in a hollow where the foxfire glows
Dear Lord, give all your creatures there repose
Day is done, dear Lord, tomorrow's sun, dear Lord
Is sure to come, is sure to come
We have your word, dear Lord

Every shadow's shrinkin', shrinkin' to the west
The breeze comes a-sweeping across the fresh mown hay
Dear Lord, be with us through a newborn day
Newborn day, dear Lord, oh, let it stay
Oh, hear me pray, dear Lord

II. My Feet Took To Walkin'

Sure I remember the homeplace
Sure I remember it clear
Because on the day that I left her
Was just this time of year
I can see her smile
Almost every mile

But my feet took to walkin'
My feet took to walkin'
No sense in talk anyhow
All the dreams that never were

III. Sweet Talker

My pa was a farmer for fifty cents a day
Worked the neighbor's land and he gathered in his hay
Well, he hoed that feller's beans and he sweated in his yard
When he got the family place, well, he sweated twice as hard
He was a sweet talker, pa was a tradin' man, a sweet talker

Whatcha got to swap? Whatcha got to trade? Hee-hee
I got a pig and a calf and a quilt just made, hee-hee
I got syrup, taters, and no need to bicker
Well, how's about a jug o' my genuine corn liquor?

He was a sweet talker, pa was a tradin' man
He was a sweet talker, you'd best count your fingers if you shake his hand
A sweet talker ain't nothin' in the world like a tradin' fool
A sweet talker, he could swap a bent nail for a blue-eyed mule

IV. My Feet Took To Walkin' (Reprise)

Sure I remember the homeplace
Sure I remember it clear
Because on the day that I left her
Was just this time of year
I can see her smile
Almost every mile

But my feet took to walkin'
My feet took to walkin'
No sense in talk anyhow
All the dreams that never were
When my feet took to walkin' away
From her

The wild rose hung by the roadside
With the honeysuckle above
And the breeze was gently a singin'
Sweet as a morning dove
Oh, I never found
Such a heartbreak sound

Till my feet took to walkin'
My feet took to walkin'
No sense in talk anyhow
All the dreams that never were
When my feet took to walkin' away
From her
