Nehemiah James lyrics
i seen a heavy-headed crow
big enough to break my neck
i seen a young old man learn anew the gift of fire
in the belly of an old train wreck
oh, and he said he'd rather be the devil
but i never could make him explain
i'll leave the dead to the cypress trees
i'd rather be nehemiah james
the sky's been boilin' like a black kettle
a cloud's belly threatenin' to break
i seen a fragile young girl waist deep in the mud
prayin' over a wheelchair in the lake
oh, and he said he'd rather be the devil
and the sun went and came up lame
i'll leave the dead to the cypress trees
i'd rather be nehemiah james
i seen somethin' goin' on on the corner
i seen a shadow lie down flat
i seen a bullet go in just over the brim
and come out the other side of the hat
oh, and he said he'd rather be the devil
and in the distance, a whistlin' train
i'll leave the dead to the cypress trees
i'd rather be nehemiah james
the lord gives back what he kills off
a king passes his wealth down
a plant bleeds green in a false spring
and a man bleeds red year 'round
oh, and he said he'd rather be the devil
and the moon was on the wane
i'll leave the dead to the cypress trees
i'd rather be nehemiah james
big enough to break my neck
i seen a young old man learn anew the gift of fire
in the belly of an old train wreck
oh, and he said he'd rather be the devil
but i never could make him explain
i'll leave the dead to the cypress trees
i'd rather be nehemiah james
the sky's been boilin' like a black kettle
a cloud's belly threatenin' to break
i seen a fragile young girl waist deep in the mud
prayin' over a wheelchair in the lake
oh, and he said he'd rather be the devil
and the sun went and came up lame
i'll leave the dead to the cypress trees
i'd rather be nehemiah james
i seen somethin' goin' on on the corner
i seen a shadow lie down flat
i seen a bullet go in just over the brim
and come out the other side of the hat
oh, and he said he'd rather be the devil
and in the distance, a whistlin' train
i'll leave the dead to the cypress trees
i'd rather be nehemiah james
the lord gives back what he kills off
a king passes his wealth down
a plant bleeds green in a false spring
and a man bleeds red year 'round
oh, and he said he'd rather be the devil
and the moon was on the wane
i'll leave the dead to the cypress trees
i'd rather be nehemiah james
