“Blackwater Roll” (The Red Devils)
from the “Blackwater Roll” EP (This Way Up/American Recordings)
Starin’ out the window, keep on cryin’ mama, can’t stop the tears, yeah
Starin’ out the window, keep on cryin’ mama, can’t stop the tears, no
Doin’ things for money, living in the city, down on Sixth Street
Man I was living with the fear, yeah
I was high all the time, head was spinnin’, my heart beat in time, yeah
High every night, head was spinnin’, my heart beat in time
I was doin’ things for money, now I beg you baby
Won’t you please forgive my crime
Goin’ on the water … in the blood red moon
(harp solo)
Full moon is risin’, oh yeah, and the sun done goin’ down
Full moon is risin’, and the sun’s done goin’ down (and the sun’s goin’ down)
I got to leave here, mama, oh yeah mama
I can’t stay in your town
I’m gonna ride with the blood red moon
(harp solo)
