Songtexte Build Myself a Cave - John Lee Hooker

Well, I'ma build myself a cave
Peel, I'ma move down in the ground
Lord, I'ma build myself a cave
Lord, I'ma move down in the ground

Lord, when I go to the army, darlin'
It won't be no dictators round
Well, I goes to my mailbox, yes, I did
Lord, I find not quite the nerve
Goes to my mailbox, baby
Lord, I find my question there

Lord, I know about that now, baby, know about that
Lord, time won't be very long

(Yeah, now, boy)

With a hood at that mornin' now, boys
Just about five o'clock
Uncle Sam called me, God knows I hung my
My head and cried, my baby said
"Please don't worry, John
No, don't worry"

Lord, I'll be waitin' for you when you come back home again
Lord, I'm so glad
Lord, I promise you, man, I won't have no other man
