Turtle dove
Burl Ives · Poor Wayfaring Stranger [1996]
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Went on Zion's hill to sing
Chorus
Adam and Eve, no, no
Adam and Eve, don't tell it to me
Meet me at the door, don't tell it to me
There's sasalado on solasaree
My name is written on David's line
My name is written on David's line
My name is written on David's line
I'm going to heaven on the wheel of time
[chorus]
When I get to heaven I know the rules
When I get to heaven I know the rules
When I get to heaven I know the rules
I keep on down to the bathing pool
[chorus]
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Went on Zion's hill to sing
[chorus]
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Went on Zion's hill to sing
Chorus
Adam and Eve, no, no
Adam and Eve, don't tell it to me
Meet me at the door, don't tell it to me
There's sasalado on solasaree
My name is written on David's line
My name is written on David's line
My name is written on David's line
I'm going to heaven on the wheel of time
[chorus]
When I get to heaven I know the rules
When I get to heaven I know the rules
When I get to heaven I know the rules
I keep on down to the bathing pool
[chorus]
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Turtle dove done drooped his wings
Went on Zion's hill to sing
[chorus]
