Talkin' Blues

(album: Natty Dread - 1974)

Yeah! Oh, yeah! Now!
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock was my pillow, too; (doo-oo-oo-oo-oo!)
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night)
And rock was my pillow, too. Yeah!

I'm saying: talking blues (talking blues),
talking blues (talking blues);
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Talking blues (talking blues), talking blues (talking blues):
Your feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo)

Yeah, I've been down on the rock for so long, (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw; (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
I've been down on the rock for so long, (so long)
I seem to wear a permanent screw. (screw-oo-oo-oo-oo)
But-a I I'm gonna stare in the sun,
Let the rays shine in my eyes.
I I'm a gonna take a just-a one step more
'Cause I feel like bombing a church
Now now that you know that the preacher is lying.
So who's gonna stay at home
When when the freedom fighters are fighting?

Talking blues (talking blues), talking blues (talking blues):
They say your feet is just too big for your shoes, woe-oh-oh-oh!
Talking blues (talking blues), keep on talking blues (talking blues);
They say you hear what they say
Didn't you hear?

Cold ground was my bed (bed last night),
Rockstone rockstone rockstone was my pillow;
Cold ground was my bed last night (bed last night),
And rock was my pillow, too.

Sayin': (talking blues, talking blues):
I seem to wear a permanent screw permanent screw.
Talking blues (talking blues), talking blues (talking blues):
Feet is just too big for your shoes. (shoe-oo-oo-oo-oo) [fadeout]
