From Her To Eternity

Cm
I wanna tell you about a girl You know, she lives in room 29 Why that's the one right up top a mine Oh I hear her walking Walking barefoot cross the floorboards All through this lonesome night I hear her crying too Hot tears come splashing down Leaking through the cracks Down upon my face Catch 'em in my mouth! Catch 'em in my mouth! Catch 'em in my mouth! Ah catch 'em in my mouth! Ah Walk and cry! Walk and cry! Ah Walk and cry! Ah Walk and cry! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! I read her diary on her sheets Scrutinizing every little bit of dirt Tore out a page and stuff it inside my shirt I fled outta the window And shinning it down the vine Outta her nightmare into mine! Mine! Mine! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! She's wearing those blue stockings, I bet And standing like this with my ear to the ceiling Listen I know it must sound absurd But I can hear the most melancholy sound I ever heard Walk and cry! Walk and cry! From her to eternity! From her to eternity! Ah tell me why, ah tell me why Oh Why, why, why? O tell me why and don't tell me lie! Why the ceiling still shakes, shake, shakes, shakes! And all the fixtures turn to serpents and snakes? This desire to possess her is a wound And it's nagging at me like a shrew But I know, that to possess her Is therefore not to desire her Oh oh oh then ya know, that little girl Would just have to go! Go! Go! From her to eternity! From her to eternity!

Tupelo

Fm
Look yonder! Look yonder! Look yonder! A big black cloud come! A big black cloud come! Yeah come to Tupelo, Come to Tupelo Yonder on the horizon Yonder on the horizon Stopped at the mighty river Stopped at the mighty river And sucked the damn thing dry Tupelo, oh Tupelo In a valley hides a town called Tupelo Distant thunder rumble Distant thunder rumble Rumble hungry like the Beast The Beast it cometh, cometh down The Beast it cometh, cometh down Whoa whoa whoa Tupelo bound, Tupelo, yeah, Tupelo The Beast it cometh, Tupelo bound Why the hen won't lay no egg Can't get that cock to crow The nag is spooked and crazier Oh God help Tupelo! Oh God help Tupelo! Oh God help Tupelo! Oh God help Tupelo! You can say these streets are rivers You can call these rivers streets You can tell yourself you're dreaming buddy But no sleep runs this deep No! No sleep runs this deep Women at their windows Rain crashing on the pane Writing in the frost Tupelo's shame, Tupelo's shame Oh God help Tupelo! Oh God help Tupelo! Oh go to sleep little children The sandman's on his way Oh go to sleep little children The sandman's in his way But the little children know They listen to the beating of their blood Listen to the beating of their blood Listen to the beating of their blood They listen to the beating of their blood The sandman's mud! The sandman's mud! And the black rain come down The black rain come down The black rain come down Water water everywhere Where no bird can fly no fish can swim Where no bird can fly no fish can swim No fish can swim Until The King is born! Until The King is born! In Tupelo! Tupelo! Till The King is born in Tupelo! In a clapboard shack with a roof of tin Where the rain came down and leaked within Young mother frozen on a concrete floor With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw Tupelo! Oh Tupelo! With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw Saturday gives what Sunday steals And a child is born at a brothers' heels Come Sunday morning the firstborn dead In a shoe-box tied with a ribbon of red Tupelo! Hey Tupelo! In a shoe-box buried with a ribbon of red Oh the mama rock you little one slow Mama rock your baby Mama rock your little one slow God help Tupelo! God help Tupelo! Mama rock your little one slow The little one will walk on Tupelo The little one will walk on Tupelo Black rain come down, Black rain come down Tupelo! Yeah Tupelo! And carry the burden of Tupelo Tupelo! Oh Tupelo! Yeah! The King will walk on Tupelo! Tupelo! Oh Tupelo! He carried the burden out of Tupelo! Tupelo! Hey Tupelo! You will reap just what you sow
