lyrics

savannah blues

it 's cool down in savannah
like the last time i know
it's cool down in savannah
like the last time i know
and i feel lost and hurtin'
and thirsty like befo'

people dont see me
when i look em in the eye
nobody they dont see me
when i look em straight up in the eye
they just stare behind my back
they dont care 'bout if i die

it's rainin' in savannah
my bones achin' all the time
pourin' rain down in savannah
my poor ol bones achin' all the time
undertaker's mean and ugly
he's a hummin' in the pines

now it's a crazy way o' dyin'
sinkin' low in my head
it's a crazy way o' dyin'
sinkin' low down in my head
you see i'm deep below the sunshine
this here's a cold and lonely bed

sure is crowded in the ground
aint nobody knows my name
way crowded here in the ground
aint nobody knows my name
ev'ry body's in a box
ev'rybody looks the same

that yeller fever's awful bad
i got no money for a bell
that yeller fever's awful bad
and iaint got no money for a bell
i been buried still alive
aint nobody gonna tell
