Evenin' turnin' on the river
Rollin' on a summer night of moonlight and sweat
Cool blades of grass, moist with dew, grip gently
Naked back an' slow breathin'
In the heat of the night
I remember you, black daddy
Glistening in the moonlight glow
I remember you, black daddy
Singin' on a string banjo, singin' "Hallelujah"
Glory, glory, hallelujah, as your blood
Our blood turned the Mississippi's flow
To red
I remember you, black daddy, dressed in blue
I remember you, black daddy, and the joy we knew
Then
Glistenin' in the moonlight glow
Singin' on a string banjo, singin' "Hallelujah"

(Yeah, hey!)
