Watch It Flow

lyrics

Black Market Mama
Below the black alder tree
Do you know where a Joe
Can get a cup of coffee?
You see, I’m weak and I’m weary
Been seein’ colors oh so
Hot, sharp dagger

Watch it flow
Watch it flow
Down the Mississippi River
To the Gulf of Mexico

Of city and country
It’s easy to hurt
In the sun, in the rain
A fistful of dirt
Coal and cotton
Homegrown Texaco
You know, a ticket to a burnin’

Watch it flow
Watch it flow
Down the Mississippi River
To the Gulf of Mexico

The water is black
It’s cold to the touch
It crawls, it falls
It don’t think too much
A better man before me
A butcher yet to go
You know, you walk the line, arrive in time

Watch it flow
Watch it flow
Down the Mississippi River
To the Gulf of Mexico

Take it or leave it
It’s only opened space
Mercy’s slippery
She don’t wear a face
Bursts of violet
In idol eyes that grow
On a wolf chewin’ a dog dream

Watch it flow
Watch it flow
Down the Mississippi River
To the Gulf of Mexico
