Hopkins Lightnin Stool Pigeon Blues Lyrics

Stool Pigeon Blues Lyrics

Good Lord, just let me live 'til tomorrow,

I'm gonna send you another prayer

This is taped

Yes, 'til tomorrow,

this black man gonna send you another prayer

You know, sometimes I begin to wonder,

what in the world am I doin' over here?

You don't love me no more, baby,

and I can't see the reason why

You don't love me no more, baby,

po' Lightnin' can't see the reason why

You know, I never told you no story,

if you don't understand that,

and I never have told you a lie

Yeah, the birds was singin',

and the wind begin to blow

Yeah, the birds was singin',

you know, the wind begin to blow

You know when a pigeon joined in and went to singin',

I never heard such a sweet voice before

You know a pigeon mean more than one that fly in the air?

It can be a stool pigeon, you know that's, you know what that is?

One that sit on a stool and pimp to the law

That is a pigeon

I want everybody understand me so they know,

I just done give up and I ain't gonna try,

to live they life no more,

No, no more

You know, I ain't gonna find no heaven here,

now, no place on earth I go
