Palm Wine Drunkard Songtext

von Jolie Holland

Well, you can drop me off in limbo on your way to West Hill
I will give your regards to the moon and the stars
From the bottom of a wishing well
Sounds like you heard all my secrets
On that inside track
Oh I laid it all bare, I left nothing to spare
And I'm never gonna take it back

But if you ever need for me to steal something for you
Just call my name on that inside track
You know my secrets and you got my number
I cross my heart that I'll never take it back

Just like a palm wine drunkard playing ghost guitar
I will shake you right down and take you right back
To the place where you already are
Let's get that sweet little girl
Back on the [...] grew up on
Would you crank it up high, would you shoot out the lights
Would you hand me down my Stratotone?

But if you ever need for me to steal something for you
Just call my name, on that inside track
You know my secrets and you got my number
I cross my heart I'll never take it back

I took it right down to the crossroads
I held my baby in my arms
And we danced till the dawn to those old Creole songs
And they slipped into the [...] zone
And then I kissed all my diamonds
I got my hands on the dice
And I screamed and I raved and I begged and I prayed
I could step into that river twice
But baby who do you think you're fooling?
Everybody knows and understands
You got me walking on pins and needles
Everybody knows that you're my man
You're my man
