Lightnin Hopkins Stool Pigeon Blues Lyrics

Stool Pigeon Blues Lyrics

Good Lord, just let me live til tommorow,

I'm gonna send you another
prayer.

This is taped.

Yes, til tommorow,

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 blue.

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 Heavan
here,

Now, no place on Earth I go.
