Delta Getaway

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 evil Jim Crow An' your sundown towns With a razor in my hand People, I don't wanna use Got a song in my bones, uh Call it the blues Hmm-mm
