Houdini Blues Lyrics - Singles - Hersh Kristin

Oh no, don't you put me in that box 

You know what you can do with those locks 

Bet your life I'll come crawling out again 

You'll have to deal with me then 

You'll hear me on the wind 

I've been on the other side of the Blue Ridge 

Seen the Shenandoah rolling there 

I stepped off the mountains edge 

Just to climb the golden stair 

I seen the streets up there 

I been on the mount transfiguration 

Been there with my Ma and my Pa 

On the mountain of commandment 

I been handed down the law 

You should have seen what I saw 

I fell to the bottom of Thales' well 

Caught like a theif with a lamb 

You know these stars they can cast a spell 

I've been caught with red hands 

I've been caught with red hands 

I scaled the mountains, skiied the valleys 

I've done the highs and the lows 

I don't feel like work today 

Hell I won't go 

Bess I won't go 

Just let me at their locks 

We should all be free 

Oh Bess, i swear I'll call 

When I'm free from me 

We should all be free
