Terry Allen - Dogwood lyrics
[Terry Allen - Dogwood lyrics]
I feel just like a Dogwood tree
Yeah somebody come and carved a
Cross out of me
Then they carried me down to Jerusalem
An the people there give me
To the carpenter’s son
Well he carried my weight up a Golgotha plain
And the sky it turned black
Lord it started to rain
Then the police with their hammers drove
His white hands into me
An they made him a part of a Dogwood tree
Yeah he may be gone far away from here
And the sun may shine bright Lord
The sky might be clear
But the iron that they used ahhh
To nail him to me
Lingers dark in the bark of a Dogwood tree
So girl I get down on my
Knees and I appeal to you
Oh Blundy, my Blundy
Girl won’t you come and ride with me
Stuff your clothes in a sack
Come an jump on my back down the highway
Yeah I’m headed for Juarez
By way of Cortez Colorado
An I need your soft skin
Next to mine once again yeah when I go
Oh Blundy, sweet sweet blundy
Girl won’t you come and break loose with me
I got my knife and my gun
An we can have lots of fun down the highway
Yeah I’m crashin’ the state lines
Headed for high time this Sunday
An I need your tattoo
Next to mine when I do ahhh chic Blundy
Yeah somebody come and carved a
Cross out of me
Then they carried me down to Jerusalem
An the people there give me
To the carpenter’s son
Well he carried my weight up a Golgotha plain
And the sky it turned black
Lord it started to rain
Then the police with their hammers drove
His white hands into me
An they made him a part of a Dogwood tree
Yeah he may be gone far away from here
And the sun may shine bright Lord
The sky might be clear
But the iron that they used ahhh
To nail him to me
Lingers dark in the bark of a Dogwood tree
So girl I get down on my
Knees and I appeal to you
Oh Blundy, my Blundy
Girl won’t you come and ride with me
Stuff your clothes in a sack
Come an jump on my back down the highway
Yeah I’m headed for Juarez
By way of Cortez Colorado
An I need your soft skin
Next to mine once again yeah when I go
Oh Blundy, sweet sweet blundy
Girl won’t you come and break loose with me

An we can have lots of fun down the highway
Yeah I’m crashin’ the state lines
Headed for high time this Sunday
An I need your tattoo
Next to mine when I do ahhh chic Blundy
