Blitzen Trapper - Big Black Bird lyrics
[Blitzen Trapper - Big Black Bird lyrics]
Heave ho the captains call
The last glass eye that the gypsys stole
Half-breed boy just takin' a stroll
Through the tall brown grass
As the river unfolds
Random clans gather on the strand
Shakin' out leaves and stompin' in the sand
Big black bird hangin' in the sky
Stern eyed brother with a rabbit
In his eye heave ho
Heave Ho the captains call
The broke down boat sitting
Quiet in the shoal
Black eyed child rising silent from the coals
As the sun goes down and the night unfolds
Random clans gather on the strand
Shakin' out leaves and stompin' in the sand
Big black bird hangin' in the sky
A stern eyed brother with a rabbit in his eye
Heave ho, heave ho
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where it’s gonna stop ain't no body knows naw
O-o-o oh oooooh
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where it's gonna stop ain't no body know
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where it’s gonna stop ain't no body knows naw
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinnin'
In the coals yeah
The last glass eye that the gypsys stole
Half-breed boy just takin' a stroll
Through the tall brown grass
As the river unfolds
Random clans gather on the strand
Shakin' out leaves and stompin' in the sand
Big black bird hangin' in the sky
Stern eyed brother with a rabbit
In his eye heave ho
Heave Ho the captains call
The broke down boat sitting
Quiet in the shoal
Black eyed child rising silent from the coals
As the sun goes down and the night unfolds
Random clans gather on the strand
Shakin' out leaves and stompin' in the sand
Big black bird hangin' in the sky
A stern eyed brother with a rabbit in his eye
Heave ho, heave ho
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where it’s gonna stop ain't no body knows naw
O-o-o oh oooooh
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where it's gonna stop ain't no body know
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals
Round and round and round it goes
Where it’s gonna stop ain't no body knows naw
Round and round and round it goes
Big black bird just spinnin'
In the coals yeah
