LETRA

Nettie moore

Lost John´s sitting on a railroad track
Some thing´s out of whack
Blues this morning falling down like hail
Gonna leave a greasy trail

Gonna travel the world is what I´m gonna do
Then come back and see you.
All I ever do is struggle and strive.
If I don´t do anybody any harm, I might make it back home alive.

I´m the oldest son of a crazy man,
I´m in a cowboy band
Got a pile of sins to pay for and I ain´t got time to hide
I´d walk through a blazing fire, baby, if I knew you was on the other side

Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is over
Winter´s gone, the river´s on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But there´s no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes

Well, the world of research has gone berserk
Too much paperwork
Albert´s in the graveyard, Frankie´s raising hell
I´m beginning to believe what the scriptures tell

I´ve gone where the Southern crosses The Yellow Dog
Get away from all these demagogues
And these bad luck women stick like glue
It´s either one or the other or neither of the two

She says, "Look out, Daddy, don´t want you to tear your pants.
You could get wrecked in this dance."
They say whisky will kill you, but I don´t think it will
I´m riding with you to the top of the hill

Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is over
Winter´s gone, the river´s on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But there´s no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes

Don´t know why my baby never looked so good before
Don´t have to wonder no more
She´s been cooking all day, it going to take me all night
I can´t eat all that stuff in a single bite

The judge´s coming in, everybody rise
Lift up your eyes
You can do what you please, you don´t need my advice
Before you call me any dirty names, you better think twice

Getting light outside, the temperature dropped
I think the rain has stopped
I´m going make you come to grips with fate
When I´m through with you, you´ll learn to keep your business straight

Oh, I miss you, Nettie Moore
And my happiness is over
Winter´s gone, the river´s on the rise
I loved you then, and ever shall
But there´s no one left here to tell
The world has gone black before my eyes

The bright spark of the steady lights
Has dimmed my sights
When you´re around me all my grief gives away
A life time with you is like some heavenly day

Everything I´ve ever known to be right has been proven wrong
I´ll be drifting along
The woman I´m loving she rules my heart
No knife could ever cut our love apart.

Today I´ll stand in faith and raise
The voice of praise
The sun is strong, I´m standing in the light
I wish to God that it were night

The world has gone black before my eyes.
