Jonestown Lyrics - Kasey Chambers

No more I'll be trouble, no more I'll be damned 

A poor man is able, but a poor man I am 

And oh how I've waited so long to be found 

So come lay your head in Jonestown 

Everybody's got a bed in Jonestown 

Come down from the river like blood from a stone 

They fed me my dinner and welcomed me home 

And lo and behold when the walls came down 

He held out his hand in Jonestown 

I found me a friend in Jonestown 

Don't you leave, this baby's a sleeping 

Don't you see all that I am 

It's all I'm believing 

Nobody's leaving 

I came from a town made of ashes and dirt 

We walked on the streets where the crosses were burned 

I left on the morning the church came down 

But they treated me kind in Jonestown 

They're all color blind in Jonestown 

Sweeter than sugar and finer than gold 

She sits with her mother and does what she's told 

She closes her eyes with her hair hanging down 

I love you my dear in Jonestown 

They all love her here in Jonestown 

Don't you leave, this baby's a sleeping 

Don't you see all that I am 

It's all I'm believing 

Nobody's leaving 

I lay here beside you, no tears will I cry 

A poor man is able, a poor man am I 

The crow's they are waiting, the sun's going down 

We drink to our brothers in Jonestown 

We die for each other in Jonestown
