Horseshoe Songtext

von North Mississippi Allstars

Over the river on Horseshoe Lake
Where they cause my poor heart to break
Cut the pigeon wing around my neck
Over the river on Horseshoe Lake

The night is so lonesome the day is so long
Since poor old Lee Bailey caught the train and gone
Left us here to sing this song
The night is so lonesome the day is so long

Lay side by side in Gravel Springs
Did you hear the church bells ring
We were singin and dancin and crying in the rain
Lay side by side in Gravel Springs

The night is so lonesome the day is so long
Berniece and Otha Turner caught the train and gone
Left us here to sing the song
The night is so lonesome the day is so long

You can hear the sound comin' down the highway
All night long they used to play
Down at Junior Kimbrough's every Sunday
You can hear the sound comin' down the highway

Times done been won't be no more
