Lucky Mud - Southern Zen (The Mockingbird Song) lyrics
I chopped wood, I carried water I burned the wood, just to boil the water I threw in some collards and some fat-back ham Made up a little cornbread in the frying pan Fried up some okra and some black-eyed peas Brewed about a gallon of sweet iced tea Took it out to the front porch Sat in the swing Closed my eyes, let the day go by And I listened to the mockingbird sing CHORUS: The mockingbird is a funny looking bird Just an ordinary gray The mockingbird don't do much as a bird 'just sits around all day The mockingbird ain't a pretty bird No bright colors in his wings But everybody stops what they're doing When he sing, sing, sings ...... Yellow sand and bright red clay Come together in a beautiful way With the long-leaf pines And that flat, flat land It looks like Heaven from where I stand It's where I was born, and where I was raised I know the people, and I know their ways From Pensacola to the Florida Keys You can close your eyes, let the day go by And listen to the mockingbird sing CHORUS: |
