The Thing I Done

I roll like thunder, Go, like dynamite, All flesh and bone, I come, Old death 'long by my side, In from the storm, This scornful breath about my tongue, O' the thing I done I took my chances, Took what chance I got, Lord know, my hands is tied, This all-bindin', ancient, blood, There flood my mind, images. Blindin' as the sun, O' the thing I done Can't tell my future, I can't tell my past, It's only eludin' fate, That make my journey's task, That weigh down upon me, Out on the run, O' the thing I done The band are playin', Bathed in electrical light But I'm all at sea, away, Under the shade o' that dark fright, Know an' I, never had a chance, I come, Bound to all, I done. You hear me singin', Know my time ain't long, Desirous, this song I bring, On these un-restin' bones Long ways from home, I stumbled, Long, since time begun. O' the thing I done O' the thing I done O' the thing I done O' the thing I done
