The Woodshed
(专辑: Lonesome Holiday - 2020)
He went out to the
woodshed To find a
log or two to split It was five below and in the
moonlit snow He followed my footprints When he cracked the
door something was out of place And the
woodshed wasn't the
same I
lay inside on a
bed of straw And when he looked at me he could taste the
shame I
said, "I didn't mean no harm, mister Just needed someplace to lay my head If you gimme a
minute to gather my things I'll be happy to find some other place instead" And as I
looked at him, he looked at me Invited me inside, gave me something to eat He said, "A man is just a
man No matter how much dough he's got in his hands You got to take a
stand Help your fellow man You got to help out when you can" Later I
went down to the
courthouse To settle money that I
owed There was a
woman lying in the
grass Wearing rags for clothes She slept beneath the
city's Christmas tree Sheltered by its boughs And I'll be damned if she belongs there Shaking in the
cold She said, "Can you fetch me some water, mister?" That's all she asked "Something to warm me up Something that'll last" You got to take that cup, fill it up It warms your soul when you fill that hole Yeah, take that cup and fill it up Bring kindness wherever you go Yeah, you got to take that cup and fill it up Bring kindness wherever you go Yeah, take that cup and fill it up Bring kindness wherever you go Yeah, take that cup and fill it up Bring kindness wherever you go
