Eric Bibb - Delta Getaway lyrics

Heart full of trouble
Weighin' down like lead prayin' to Jesus
I don't wake up dead

Saw a man hangin' from a cypress tree
I seen the ones who done it
Now they comin' after me

With a razor in my hand i don't wanna use
Got a song in my bones call it the blues

Runnin' an' hidin' did I hear a hound bark?
Sleepin' by day movin' after dark

Headed for Chicago with a heavy load
Tryin' to get to Memphis on a midnight road

With a razor in my hand i don't wanna use
Got a song in my bones call it the blues

Tell you people if you dare to hear
It's a crime an' a shame
The way we're livin' in fear

It's not God's will
To keep the Black man down
With your еvil Jim Crow
An' your sundown towns

With a razor in my hand
People, I don't wanna use
Got a song in my bonеs call it the blues
