Look Over Yonder
Jimi Hendrix · Other Songs - Jimi Hendrix
I can see Â’em cominÂ’
Wearing a blue armoured coat...
YouÂ’re sittinÂ’ there with your violins
HittinÂ’ wrong notes...
Look over yonder, heÂ’s cominÂ’ my way
When heÂ’s around,
I never have a happy day (you even bust my guitar strings)
Look over yonder
Well, heÂ’s talkinÂ’ to my baby
They found my peace pipe on her
Now theyÂ’re dragginÂ’ her away
Lord knows we donÂ’t need a devil like him beatinÂ’ us around
Well, heÂ’s knockinÂ’ on my door
Now my house is tumbling down
