When I was born I was running as my hit the ground Before I could talk I was humming an old railroad didn't get much better when by the age of five They found me walking into trying to keep my friends alive
No time for celebration was no known cure Seems I was born and in the wrong killing floor And my loved ones gathered round see if the experiment had I was misplaced, out of time and worse
Oh, please cry for me Tears to the Tears to be
Now I see twelve white yeah walking in a line Moving east across the metal on Highway 49 And standing in the shadows of a out motel The King of Commerce Mississippi waited his hound from hell, oh
A noon riverboat taking income from the poor It's floating by the levee in an artificial There's a six mile tailback back on 304 A stranger at the crossroads believe seen his face before
Oh, cry for me Tears the river Tears to be
Oh, I'm sad to be The sun's going and I really got to go now Sad to be The sun's going down, I got to go now
Yeah got to go now I I go got to move got to move, yeah, ah
Sad to be Sun's down, I really got to go now Sad to be The sun down, I really got to go now Yeah, got to go now, oh
Sad to be going down, I really got to go now Sad to be The going down, I really got to go now
really got to go now, yeah Oh, go now Yes I've got, go now
