the steel wheels - waters edge كلمات الأغنية

my mama said i was born to be happy
so i grabbed my shoes and a brown bag sack
ran on down to main street town
and i don’t know if i’m ever goin’ back
america sits with freedom ringing
the car h-rns stop, the children singing
i ask a question slow and true
what, my friend, does it mean to you?

the preacher glazed me
the poet praised me
the ceo just called me lazy
the judge and jury would not be bothered
and the pretty girls all ran and hollered
the beggerman told me to go
then gypsy nelly stole the show
she said, “go on down to the waters edge
and jump on in with your shoes of lead”

mama, oh mama
it was out by the water’s edge

ran on down where the river flows
and contemplated where to go
i didn’t have no shoes of lead
but i jumped on in just to clear my head
i was swimming, i was naked
i was hungry, i was hated
i could go to any town
or i could stay right here and drown

mama, oh mama
it was out by the water’s edge

thank you, nelly, thank you gypsy
you sent me to die but i’m feeling tipsy
all my spirit has woke up
with just one taste from the holy cup
not religion, not the bottle
but a holy woman’s got my throttle
open me wide and open me free
right there i saw my queen

mama, oh mama
she was out by the water’s edge

let me tell you loud and clear
what i saw when she appeared
a band of scraggled tramps and vagrants
singing songs about living in a bas-m-nt
holy water like the mother shine
be my branches be my vine
take my body take my soul
rock me sweet and let me roll

mama, oh mama
it was out by the water’s edge
mama, oh mama
it was out by the water’s edge

my mama said i was born to be happy
so i grabbed my shoes and a brown bag sack

- the steel wheels
