Waymore's Blues
Ben Harper · Other Songs - Ben Harper
Around the curve come a passenger train
I heard somebody yodel and a hobo moan
Jimmy he's dead, it's been a long time gone
Been a long time gone
A long time gone
If you want to get to heaven got to D I E
You got to put on your coat and T I E
Want to get the rabbit out of the L O G
Gotta make a commotion like a D O G
Like a D O G
Like a D O G
I gotta good woman, what's the matter with me?
What makes me want to love every woman I see?
I was traveling when I met her, now I'm traveling again
And every women she sees looks like a place I came in
Looks like a place I came in, place I came in
I got my name painted on my shirt
I ain't no ordinary dude, I don't have to work
I don't have to work
