Mongrel lyrics

I'm headin to Atlanta, leavin on a Delta plane

Uh huh all right

I'm headin to Atlanta, leavin on a Delta plane

Uh huh good good
I'll carry my trenchcoat but I sure don't think it's gonna rain

Ah ah oh no

The gold is in my pockets

Caps and tabs are in my sleeves

Ah ha

Gold is in my pockets

Caps and tabs are in my sleeves

Oh yeah

When I was a little girl, I had a rag-doll

The only doll I've ever owned.

Now I love you just the way I love that rag-doll,

but only now the love has grown.

And it get's stronger everyway...

And It get's deeper let me say...

And It get's higher day by day...

(corus)

AH, do I love you my oh my?

River deep - Mountain High.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

And If I lost you would I cry?

Here come the mountain, Here come the hill

Here come the valley and the Shoreline still

I know 'em well, know well
Mongrel, on the hard sell

With a ?, hot assed, inkwell

Lord, But I, I can't leave with the blues

Through endless days, and endless nights

Spare my creator, scream for my rights

? in the wishing well

Mongrel on the Hard sell, with a ?,

Hot assed, Inkwell

Here come the mountains, here come the hills

Here come the valleys and Shoreline still

I've seen 'em all, I know 'em well

Mongrel, on the hard sell
With a fortrel polyester ink well hord, Hot assed, Inkwell Lord,

But I can't leave you with the blues no

Remember days, and endless nights

Spread my freedom and I scream for my rights

Thru empty days and endless nights

Cruisin on the grey snakes till my dyin day

Checkin all the hen houses out along the way

Wastin time and drikin wine

Life is short and I ain't lyin
Livin all I Can thru every day

(CHORUS)

You can call me Lucifer

If you think you should

Now I know I'm good

Everynight I'm barrelhousin till the moon is low

Shoutin blues and payin dues & throwin way my dough

I wasn't born lookin' back, I can't tell white from black

Kesey next to me now darling, straighter than a railroad track

I've been so high, my mind was dry

I rent it out to farmers on the midnight ride
That ain't all

I ain't even got me a congressman I can call

All right

I seen 'em dumpin' garbage, in my rivers and lakes

I seen 'em send up John Sinclair, you know

Evil Edna she wore sequins to the funeral

Looked just like a gypsy

Never shed a tear

Everybody said she looked just like a hooker
Everyone mistook her for the loser of the year

Still the voices of the prophets

Tell us we should live just so

Ah Edna didn't care

Enda did not know

Two weeks later, Edna laughed at her confession

Laughed just like a gypsy

Life is like a big river

sinkin' or swim, depends on you

you can take or you can be a giver
if you got love

you're gonna get through

once, a good woman loved me

kinda cruel, and she left me one day

now I'm cyin', she loves another

gotta go alone

the rest of the way

take, the advice of a loser

who's been livin' too long alone

follow your heart

follow your rainbow

I was walkin to the corner drug store

and what should I happen to see

there were picket lines

and the people were a shoutin'

"Down with democracy"
as I strolled on by someone grabbed my arm and said

"buddy where do you stand"?

I said "I stand wherever I choose my friend

and you best let go of my hand"

Yeah hell yeah now I can hear the gypsy wind a howlin'
Ain't got time to lean against your wall
I gotta hit the road and keep on movin'
I'm gonna roll and smoke and boogie and ball now

Been abused, got my shoes, paid my dues, teachin' blues

Yeah I'm goin' ridin' to the gates of freedom
Cruisin till the sun she falls
I'm gonna follow my god into Eden
