Текст песни Southern Grammar - Live - Hiss Golden Messenger

One day I tried to kneel
I tried to kneel but I could not
They said, "Go ye to the holy house."
And I took the long way around

Teacher, come teach me
Another way to be happy
"Hey, buddy boy, who's asking?
I've been looking for the same thing."

Chickamy, craney crow
Craney crow's a liar
Eat a peach or let it go
Yeah, you will take the long way home

Southern grammar
Father and child
Let this be simple for a little while

See is there work for me?
Is there a hammer and a nail?
Because I'm going that way anyway
Through the crippled green country

Teacher, come teach me
Preacher, come reach me
There's another way to be happy
And I've been looking for the same thing

See is there life for me?
Is there a wife and a baby?
Because I'm going that way anyway
Through the unfamiliar country

Southern grammar
Father and child
Let this be simple for a little while

Chickamy, craney crow
Craney crow's a liar
Eat a peach or let it go
Yeah, you will take the long way home

Southern grammar
Father and child
Let's just be simple for a little while
