Rainy Day Crossroad Blues

(album: Stampede - 1975)

The sky is falling and the ground is reaching up
The river's going by and the water's getting high and I feel like giving up
Standing in the downpour with these rainy day crossroad blues
Got those woods on my left, city on my right, don't wanna sleep alone tonight again
Hole in my coat, hole in my shoes, sitting in Mobile singing the blues about you
Company people call my house most every day
Won't let a body concentrate
Gotta get some peace that way
Waiting for that water rising, think I'll put my guitar in my boat
'Cause I'm floating to the nearest levy just to lay down
In that sand
Just picking wild berries, getting stung by honey bees
The Lord above and the devil below having a fight inside of me
Thinking ' bout my gun, maybe that will set me free
'Cause thunder and lightning are trapped inside of me
Innocent darling why you treat your daddy this way?
The price of the question is a mighty hard price to pay
'Cause you brought these rainy day crossroad blues my way
I can't take it no more
