Firefly Crown

Superbe morceau jouer par The Box Uke, morceau écrit par Shelley Rickey

Bare feet walkin’ ‘cross the muddy ground

Feed-sack dress, firefly crown

Pack my bag and pawn my ring

Ride that rail to New Orleans

I’m goin’ down, goin’ down

Further than I’ve ever been

Change my name and choose my friends

I’m goin’ down, goin’ down

Down that lamp lit road

LuLu’s waitin’ so I’ve been told

Velvet shoes 'pon a polished floor

Madame opens the parlour door

Hungry hands and thirsty souls

Bloody sheet and coin of gold

I’m goin’ down, goin’ down

Further than I’ve ever been

Faceless favors for nameless men

I’m goin’ down, goin’ down

If my price you pay

Count my coins and sleep all day

Rushin’ boots through the pourin’ rain

Whistle blowin’, A boardin’ train

Money made by selling me

Money used to set me free

I’m goin’ down, goin’ down

Further than I’ve ever been

Small towns passin’ the window pane

I’m goin’ down, goin’ down

On my knees to pray

Black bird sings then she flies away

Bare feet walkin’ 'cross the muddy ground

Feed-sack dress, firefly crown
