lyrics

218 or 61 c Chuck LeMonds 2007

218 or 61 can take me home again
if I just keep on doing right,
I know I’ll get there when
the trees are turning color
and the air is cool at night
& my sweet gal be waiting there
to kiss and hold me tight.

218 or 61 can take me home again
Mississippi angel flowing through the land
218 or 61 can take me home again
passing through Dubuque be checking on a friend
a penny for your thoughts
a quarter for your soul.

You people just don’t know it
you just don’t have no clue
down along the river
there’s another law that rules
you should be mindful
of the business that you do
cause who knows who is watching
and who knows what they’ll do.

Refrain

The ghost of all the ancestors
standing by the way
They have seen you coming
Since the early light of day
Bow your head and pray
Go down on your knees
Show for once an ounce
Of true humility.
