Long Way Around

Every evening I follow my master Down to my prayin' ground No sir, I ain't ready to go no faster I'm just takin' the long way around Early spring child, you won't get no younger When love just brought you down All last fall I was waitin' for the summer I was takin' the long way around Sister, take your time to come to me slowly Lead me down to the prayin' ground All that's sacred, woman, all that is holy Will come on the long way around Well, right down here where anything can happen Yes, I'm talkin' 'bout the prayin' ground Who knows, oh I wanna know what now I'll be takin' the long way around Right down here where anything can happen Down on the prayin' ground Who knows now, I wanna know what happened Takin' the long way around I'll be takin' the long way around
