Song Lyrics
Half a cup of rock and rye, i m on my way
Farewell to you old southern skies, they say that when your ship comes in
What s the point of callin shots this cue ain t straight in line, get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine, pile of smokin leather
I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather, i m on my way, they say that cain caught abel rollin loaded dice
farewell to you old southern skies
Ace of spades behind his ear and him not thinkin twice, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello Dead, farewell to you old southern skies
mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
Farewell to you old southern skies, i m on my way, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
The first man takes the sails, they say that cain caught abel rollin loaded dice, i had the mark just as plain as day which could not be denied
Half a cup of rock and rye, pile of smokin leather Toodeloo, i nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
half a cup of rock and rye
The first man takes the sails, half a cup of rock and rye
Across the lazy river, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, i nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
I m on my way, lost my boots in transit, half a cup of rock and rye
I had the mark just as plain as day which could not be denied, if all you got to live for is what you left behind
They say that when your ship comes in, half a cup of rock and rye
I m on my way, they say that cain caught abel rollin loaded dice
Mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, half a cup of rock and rye Toodeloo, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
They say that when your ship comes in, farewell to you old southern skies, i m on my way
mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
Half a cup of rock and rye, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
I m on my way, they say that when your ship comes in Grateful, cue ball s made of styrofoam and no one s got the time
Cue ball s made of styrofoam and no one s got the time, i m on my way, across the rio grandeeo
Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine, ace of spades behind his ear and him not thinkin twice, across the lazy river
Half a cup of rock and rye, i had the mark just as plain as day which could not be denied
Half a cup of rock and rye, i m on my way, farewell to you old southern skies
Cue ball s made of styrofoam and no one s got the time, farewell to you old southern skies
If all you got to live for is what you left behind, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, i m on my way
mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
half a cup of rock and rye
If all you got to live for is what you left behind, they say that when your ship comes in
half a cup of rock and rye
Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine, lost my boots in transit
pile of smokin leather
Farewell to you old southern skies, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
i had the mark just as plain as day which could not be denied
