Black Peter

[EstimatedProphet]

All of my friends come to see me last night
I was laying in my bed and dying
Annie Beauneu from Saint Angel
say "the weather down here so fine"

Just then the wind
came squalling through the door
but who can
the weather command?
Just want to have
a little peace to die
and a friend or two
I love at hand

Fever roll up to a hundred and five
Roll on up
gonna roll back down
One more day
I find myself alive
tomorrow
maybe go
beneath the ground

See here how everything
lead up to this day
and it's just like
any other day
that's ever been
Sun goin up
and then the
sun it goin down
Shine through my window and
my friends they come around
come around
come around

People may know but
the people don't care
that a man could be
as poor as me...
"Take a look at poor Peter
he's lyin in pain
now let's go run
and see"

Run and see
hey, hey,
run and see

4. Very appropriate

I'm goin' down that road feelin' bad, bad, bad
I'm goin' down that road feelin' bad
Goin' down that road feelin' bad, O Lord
An' I ain't gonna be treated this way

Away down in jail on my knees, knees, knees
Away down in jail on my knees
Away down in jail on my knees, O Lord
And I ain't gnna be treated this a way

They fed me on cornbread an' beans, beans, beans
They fed me on cornbread an' beans
Fed me on cornbread an' beans
An' I ain't gonna be treated this a way

A ten dollar due is my fee, fee, fee
A ten dollar due is my fee,
A ten dollar due is my fee, Lord, Lord
An' I ain't gonna be treated this a way

I'm goin' where th weather suits my clothes, clothes
I'm goin' where th weather suits my clothes
Goin' where th weather suits my clothes, O Lord
And I ain't gonna be treated this a way

5. Gonna leave this brokedown palace...

<sniffle> no lyrics from me. Yer all google-capable.

[EstimatedProphet]

6. Another good one though, and I'll do the honors

Fare you well my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone

Goin to leave this Broke-down Palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time - in my time - I will roll roll roll

In a bed, in a bed
by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

River gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
all the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby
sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come
since I first left home

Goin home, goin home
by the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

Goin to plant a weeping willow
On the banks green edge it will grow grow grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go - the river roll roll roll

Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul

8. Went to see the captian...

..strangest I could find.
Laid my proposition down,
laid it on the line.

I won't slave for beggar's pay.
Likewise gold and jewels.
But I would slave to learn the way
to sink your ship of fools.
