t bone burnett - high john lyrics

(love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk)
(love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk)

high john the conqueror
laughing at the devil
at his slapstick dignity
and his tolling death knell
his stern contempt
his misogyny
his vertigo
his mendacity
(love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk)
(love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk)

he drew back the curtain
and saw there was no earth
nor was there a universe
there was only light
and the sound of mercy
(love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk)
(love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk)

he said, “i’ll go to heaven when the world’s on fire
i’ll trip over the rose and the briar
i’ll listen to the music in the angel choir”
(love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk)
(love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk)
where there is no time
and where no one lies
where there is no crime
where no one cries
in the land where the soul of a man never dies
(love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk)
(love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk)

high john the conqueror
down by the border
fording the river
walking across the water
to the very gate of h_ll
where anyone can buy and sell
anything on which one can dwell
where the celebrity_in_chief comes to grief
(love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk)
(love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk)
(love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk)

i was born in algiers at 12 o’clock at night
the moon wasn’t shining and there wasn’t any light
all the dogs were howling someone’s gone there is no doubt
they don’t know who did it and they can’t find out

i saw a shadow pull off his glove
as a bluebird flew into the dark sky above
life’s no pleasure unless you’re with the one you love
love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk
love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk
love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk
love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk
love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk
love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk

it was way last year when my trouble began
you went to louisiana to get a mojo hand
and you won’t lift the hex till i’m under your command

i can never go back into the past
for the flood is coming and it’s moving fast
now you can break your window and look down on the glass
i wanna go home, but i don’t have sufficient clothes
last time i went down there i nearly froze

love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk
love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk
love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk
love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk
love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk
love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk
love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk
love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk
i got a girl in cuba
i got a girl in spain
i got a girl in dallas
i’m afraid to call her name
i met a woman there who was vicious and mean
i asked her for a drink of water
she gave me kerosene
i saw her with another man today
he was speaking with her in a personal way
if i don’t leave here, there will be h_ll to pay

love make me stutter, make me stutter when i talk
love make me stagger, make me stagger when i walk
