Gentles Lament — текст песни (Jimmy Nail)

Words and music by jimmy nail



Hey momma dont you cry for me

Im gonna shake all the apples off of all the trees

Oh yeah, but Im coming home



Hey baby dont you weep tonight

When I see them apples hangin gonna take a bite

Oh yeah, but Im coming home



Hey daddy dont you worry now

Im gonna make every little thing right somehow

Oh yeah, Im coming home



Hey momma dont you cry no more

You know that very soon now Ill be beyond the law

Oh yeah, Im coming home



Hey child remember when Im gone

I got to ride in a town car, twenty feet long

Oh yeah, Im coming home



Hey boy youd better get it right

When you tie that rope youd better fix it tight

Oh yeah, Im coming home



Hey boys you remember me

I rocked the ground. I shook the tree, but no more

Im coming home



Hey jesus give a hand to me

Im a two-time sinner tryin to make it three

Im about as bad as I can be, but I swear

Im coming home

Oh Im coming home
