Текст песни Leaving Eden - Carolina Chocolate Drops

Hush now, don't you wake up
We'll be leaving at first light
Gonna find you a mockingbird
To lull you through the night
Across the den by morning
Here's a blanket for you to share
They're building down in Georgia
Daddy hears he'll find work there

CHORUS:
And the mockingbird can sing
Like the crying of the dove
And I can't tell my daughters
All the things that I am scared of
But I am not afraid of that bright glory up above
Dying's just another way to lead the ones you love

No work for the working man
Just one more empty mill
Hard times for working men
Hard times harder still
The crows are in the kitchen
The wolves at the door
Our fathers' land of eden is paradise no more

CHORUS

My sister stayed in Eden
Her husband's got some land
An agent for the county thinks that they might make a stand
A hard life full of working
With nothing much to show
A long life of leaving with nowhere to go

CHORUS
