Savannah Blues - Malcolm Holcombe

it 's cool down in savannah

like the last time i know

it’s cool down in savannah

like the last time i know

and i feel lost and hurtin'

and thirsty like befo'

people dont see me

when i look em in the eye

nobody they dont see me

when i look em straight up in the eye

they just stare behind my back

they dont care 'bout if i die

it’s rainin' in savannah

my bones achin' all the time

pourin' rain down in savannah

my poor ol bones achin' all the time

undertaker’s mean and ugly

he’s a hummin' in the pines

now it’s a crazy way o' dyin'

sinkin' low in my head

it’s a crazy way o' dyin'

sinkin' low down in my head

you see i’m deep below the sunshine

this here’s a cold and lonely bed

sure is crowded in the ground

aint nobody knows my name

way crowded here in the ground

aint nobody knows my name

ev’ry body’s in a box

ev’rybody looks the same

that yeller fever’s awful bad

i got no money for a bell

that yeller fever’s awful bad

and iaint got no money for a bell

i been buried still alive

aint nobody gonna tell
