Raise The Dead Lyrics - Hickory Wind - Emmylou Harris

Hank Williams died when I was five 

He sang I'll never get out of this world alive 

Now it's been a long time since I was that kid 

And I've seen a lot more than Hank ever did. 

I've done the down and out in every dark end dive 

But I'll never get out of your love alive 

Sam Cook met the woman at the well 

She told him that his song was something he could never sell. 

And I think he knew a change was gonna come 

Still he lived too fast and he died too young 

Well, dyin' young I have survived 

But I'll never get out of your love alive.

I got washed in the blood of Bill Monroe 

When he sang about the the blues in the body and soul 

He believed in a God that could raise the dead 

Still it's a mighty dark night to travel he said. 

I've seen a mighty dark night 

And I made that drive 

But I'll never get out 

Of your love alive. 

Robert Johnson had a hellhound on his trail 

Drove him to the coffin like a hammer and a nail 

It takes a powerful man to carry that load 

When your tryin' to beat the devil to the old crossroads.

I wrestled the devil 

Lived to testify 

But I'll never get out 

Of your love alive. 

I'll never get out of your love alive. 

I'll never get out of your love alive. 

I'll never get out of your love alive...
