Artist/Band: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Lyrics for Song: Blind Lemon Jefferson
Lyrics for Album: Your Firstborn Is Dead [1985]



Blind Lemon Jefferson is a comin'



Tap tap tappin' with his cane



Blind Lemon Jefferson is a comin'



Tap tap tappin' with his cane



His last ditch lies down the road of trials



Half filled with rain



O sycamore, sycamore!



Stretch your arms across the storm



Down fly two greasy brother crows



They hop and bop, they hop and bop, they hop and bop



Like the tax man come to call



They go knock knock, knock knock



Hop and bop, hop and bop, hop and bop



They slap a death writ on his door



Here come the judgment train, get on board



And turn that big black engine home



Let's roll, let's roll, down the tunnel, the terrible tunnel of his world



Waitin' at his final station, like a bigger blacker third bird



Let's roll, let's roll, let's roll



O, his road is dark and lonely



He don't drive no Cadillac



O, his road is dark and holy



He don't drive no Cadillac



If that sky serves as his eyes



Then that moon is a cataract



Let's roll, roll, yeah, let's roll



Yeah, let's roll, let's roll
