Uncle Lem

The ladies of the garden club say his home is just a disgrace to the town, if the Mayor want's reelected, he'd better pass some laws and tear it down.
They wanna cover it with flowers, maybe even plant some dogwood trees; I guess that they've forgotten, when we were kids what that place used to be. I know it's just a shanty now, but Lord that place was built with human tears, for it's the home of Uncle Lem who was born and raised and lived there ninety years. There's not a boy in this whole town hasn't stopped for water at his well, or sat on his porch in the evenin' and listened to the stories that he'd tell. (refrain) oh his hair was the color of a cottonfield and his skin was old and brown, and he was born in that rundown shack before there was a town. He bought that shack and a piece of earth for the highest price to pay; his mom was bought and sold there, Uncle Lem was born'd a slave.(end of refrain) the mayor and some ladies of the garden club went out to tell Uncle Lem that he'd have to find a new place to live; well they found him there in that old broken down rockin chair, and on an old paper bag they found his will. "nor I wanna leave my old shotgun to the fine mayor of this town, for I remember when he a little fella, he used to follow me around. I wish I had more to give to my friends that I love, but all I've got is this old shack and a piece of earth, and I want it to go to the ladies of the garden club.(refrain)

Down through the ages men have died for their women And they've done so so many times But each time I loved one I always lost one And I guess the right one

Just when I thought I put you up Silly old me, I called too many times Thought you were about to love me up Here I am getting all messed up by fucking

You never know when you gonna meet someone And your whole wide world in a moment comes undone You just walking around and suddenly Everything that you thought that you know about love

The more I see you, The more I want you. Somehow this feeling Just grows and grows. With every sigh I become more mad about you, More lost without you, And so it goes. Can you imagine How

Разменяли любовь на расстояния Превратились в осколки немого льда Между нами стена непонимания А я обещал любить тебя Обещал любить тебя Обещал забыть тебя Обещал, обещал, обещал Обещай ревновать меня Обещай Забудь меня Обещай, обещай, обещай Может быть эта ночь звездами
