cannonball adderley - stayin' place lyrics

Loading...

[john henry]
there’s a someday patch
by a someday shore
somewhere on this ol’ earth’s face
an’ we’ll find us that somewhere
this side of heaven
an’ make it our stayin’ place—

there’s a someday sun
where a someday’s field’s
growin’ green by my someday plow
an’ i’ll find us that someday
this side of heaven
an’ make it our here_an’_now—
an’ i’ll build you a cabin
that’s got boards on the floor
got glass at the winders an’ a latch to the door
somehow, someday, our feet will find the way
that lead to that somеwhere this side of hеaven—

(spoken)
i waited ten thousand years for you, carrie

[men]
next year, next year—

[carolina, spoken]
you don’t have to wait no longer, john

[men]
next year, next year—

[john henry]
let heaven be our ceilin’

[carolina]
ooh

[john henry]
an’ let the earth be our floor
[carolina]
ooh

[john henry]
we plant a whole row of children
’round the lord’s own front door

[carolina]
mmm

[john henry]
someday, somehow
startin’ right here an’ now
we’ll build us a heaven

[carolina]
ooh

[john henry]
build it this side of heaven
come on, let’s make our stayin’ place

[john henry & carolina]
together…
