New Imperial Grand Blues
Florins hanging under the willowDaddy sang in/Daddy's hanging from those beamsKeeping perfect time with the creakingThat girl's only got 18 wheelsSpent enough time with the livingTo know the living don't spend nothing on meSo leave your wine and soul in a mansionOh, meet me in the big red seaSister there's no man you could saveOh, piece no mush American taintBible still can teach you about sufferingOh, but suffering doesn't know god's nameSpent enough time with the livingTo know the living don't spend nothing on me, soTell your uncles where to goOh, meet me in the big red seaHolding your head under the waterDoesn't make you a white whaleHolding your head higher and rightDoesn't make you a man, JaneSpent enough time with the livingTo know the living don't spend nothing on me, soSiccin' purple shales on the altarMeet me in the big red seaYou can't steal this in remembrance of meOh, meet me in the big red sea Aus Songtexte Mania
