Where the big bulrushes grow
You find the old frog jumpin the water
He won't come up no more, babe
He won't come up no more, baby
He won't come up no more, woo
He won't come up no more, sugar mama
He won't come up no more
Smell that burnin' fire, baby
Burnin' in the sand
See that devil rise, mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand,
Oh, harvest moon
Keep shinin' your light down on me
The Lord reach out his hand
My soul floats out to thee
I don't feel no pain
When they shot me down
Lay my body out, baby
They put me in the ground so cold
They put me in the ground, baby
They put me in the ground, woo
They put me in the ground, sugar mama
They put me in the ground
Down along the river Where the big bulrushes grow You find the old frog jumpin the water He won't come up no more, babe He won't come up no more, baby He won't come up no more, woo He won't come up no more, sugar mama He won't come up no more Smell that burnin' fire, baby Burnin' in the sand See that devil rise, mama He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama He sho' wanna take yo' hand, Oh, harvest moon Keep shinin' your light down on me The Lord reach out his hand My soul floats out to thee I don't feel no pain When they shot me down Lay my body out, baby They put me in the ground so cold They put me in the ground, baby They put me in the ground, woo They put me in the ground, sugar mama They put me in the ground Explain Request ×
