Song | Sunday In The South |
Artist | Shenandoah |
Album | The Road Not Taken |
作词 : Booker | |
Mill worker houses lined up in a row, | |
another southern sunday morning blow | |
Beneath the steeple all the people have begun | |
shakin' hands with the man who grips the gospel gun | |
While the quiet prayer, the smell of dinner on the ground | |
heals up the morning air, ain't nothin' sweeter around | |
I can almost hear my mama pray: | |
"Oh lord forgive us when we doubt," | |
another sacred sunday in the south | |
A ragged rebel flag flies high above it all | |
popping in the wind like an angry cannon ball | |
The holes of history are cold and still, | |
but they smell the powder burnin' and they probably always will | |
And on the old town square under the barber shop pole, | |
they sat me up in the chair when I was four years old | |
I can almost hear my papa say: | |
"Won't you hold still son, stop squirmn' around | |
another sacred sundays coming down" | |
(Instrumental break) | |
I can almost hear the old folks say: | |
"You'll make it big one day, you'll leave this town," | |
Some other lazy sunday you'll come back around | |
(Instrumental break) | |
I can feel the evening sun go down, | |
and all the lights in the houses one by one go out | |
Softly in the distance nothing stirs about | |
and the night is filled with the sound of a whipporwil | |
On a sunday in the south |
