Easy Wind

(앨범: Workingman's Dead - 1970)

I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer,
been chipping up rocks for the great highway,
live five years if I take my time,
balling that jack and a drinking my wine.

I been chipping them rocks from dawn till doom,
while my rider hide my bottle in the other room.
Doctor say better stop balling that jack,
if I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will.

Easy wind cross the Bayou today
cause there's a whole lotta women, mama,
out in red on the streets today.
And the rivers keep a talking,
but you never heard a word it said.

Gotta find a woman be good to me,
won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea,
cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
and I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will.

Easy wind going cross the Bayou today
there's a whole lotta women
out in red on the streets today.
And the rivers keep a talking,
but you never heard a word it said.
