Mockingbird
hush, you little baby, don't you say a word here comes the devil, all dressed up like a mockingbird and if that mockingbird should try to steal you off the ground mama's gonna grab on tight and hold you down- down- down mama, can you tell me: where did my money go? what did the devil sell me? i don't even know he's been pecking in my pockets, diving round my door trying to take me with him- what does he want me for? chorus mama told me: don't let go the ground somebody hold me- hold me down Songtexte i got the devil on my shoulder- hollering- beating his red wing saying "polly wanna dollar, i don't care if you can sing" and "put down that guitar, now, darlin', you can't really play it don't matter what you got to say- you don't know how to say it" chorus bridge what's this coming? what's this coming? coming over me i can't stand myself- i can't even stand on my own feet chorus Aus Songtexte Mania
