LYRICS:
LAY DOWN YOUNG MOSES CHILD
YOUR WANDERING STAR A WHILE
HANG YOUR HEART ON A QUIET SOUL
AND STAY AWHILE IN THE HOUSE OF GOLD
EACH ROOM HAS MANY MANSIONS
EACH MANSION MANY ROOMS
YOU’LL SLEEP ON SHEETS OF SILVER
YOU’LL EAT ON PLATES OF MOON
I WILL TAKE UP WHITE LINEN
I WILL A’ ROVING GO
I DO NOT NEED YOUR MANSIONS
I WILL LIVE IN A HOUSE OF SOUL
BRING ME MY FLORIDA WATER
SET ME MY SERPENT FREE
PAINT YE NO STARS ABOVE ME
I AM BOUND FOR EXPEDITE!
ALL THE LOVE THEY’RE GONNA GIVE ME NOW
ALL THE LOVE ALL THE LOVE
HEY THEY GONNA BE MY FAMILY NOW
AND YOU CAN KEEP YOUR THRONES
I BEEN UP ON THE MOUNTAIN
I BEEN TO THE END OF THE LINE
I PIERCED THE FIERY CURTAIN
THE FACE I TOUCHED WAS MINE
I’LL BURN ME THROUGH OHIO
I’LL FIND THE APPLESEED
WHO LIVES ON LIGHTNING BUGS
HIS MOUTH’LL GLOW WHEN HE BEGINS TO PREACH
I’LL BURN ME THROUGH THE HANDLE
I’LL DRINK THE CACTUS TRUTH
APPEAR TO PEYOTERAS
HILLS THE COLOR OF CONQUEROR ROOT
I GOT MY HEAVY WORKING
I HUNG YOUR CAPSTONE TOO
I’M THE KING OF THE MILKMAIDS HONEY
SAY MY NAME YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE
I GOT MY HEAVY WORKING
I LIKE MY LIGHTNING SWEET
I AM A BEAST OF BURDEN
THAT IS TO SAY I AM A BEAST
