Walking Into Clarksdale — текст песни (Robert Plant)

When I was born I was running
As my feet hit the ground
Before I could talk I was humming
An old railroad sound
Things didn`t get much better
When by the age of five
They found me walking into Clarksdale
Trying to keep my friends alive
No time for celebration
Now there`s no known cure
Seeing I was born and raised
On the wrong killing floor
And my loved ones gathered round
To see the experiment at work
I was misplaced out of time
Never rich - never worse

Oh momma, please don`t cry for me
Tears to the river - tears to be free
And I see twelve white horses walking in line
Moving east across the metal bridge
On highway forty-nine
And standing in the shadows of a burnt out motel
The King of Commerce Mississippia waited with his hound from hell
A shiny neon riverboat taking income from the poor
It`s floating by the levee in an artifical pool
There`s a six-mile tailback back out of junction 304
A stranger at the crossroads
I believe I`d seen his face before
Oh, don`t cry for me
Tears fill the river - tears to be free
I`m sad to be leaving
The sun`s gone down and I`ve really got to go now
Sad to be leaving
The sun`s gone down - I`ve really got to go now
Yeah, really got to go now
I`ve got to go - I`ve got to move
Sad to be leaving
Sun`s gone down - I`ve really got to go now
Sad to be leaving
The sun`s gone down and I`ve really got to go now
Yeah, really got to go now
