Looky yonder Looky yonder Looky yonder A big black cloud come A big black cloud come Here come to Tupelo Come to Tupelo Yonder on the horizon Yonder on the horizon Stomped at the mighty river Sucked the damn thing dry Distant thunder rumble Distant thunder rumble Rumble hungry like the beast The beast that cometh, cometh down The beast that cometh, cometh down The beast that cometh, cometh down Whoa, Tupelo bound Tupelo Hey, hey, hey, Tupelo The beast that cometh, Tupelo bound Why the hen won't lay no egg Can't get that cock to crow The lag is spooked and crazy Oh, God of the Tupelo The God of the Tupelo You can say these streets are rivers You can call these rivers streets You can tell yourself you're dreaming But even no sleep runs this deep No, no sleep runs this deep Oh, God of the Tupelo Oh, God of the Tupelo Oh, God of the Tupelo Oh, God of the Tupelo Oh, go to sleep little children The sandman's on his way Oh, go to sleep little children The sandman's on his way They listen to the beating of their blood They listen to the beating of their blood The sandman's mud The sandman's mud The sandman's mud The sandman's mud And black rain come down The black rain come down Oh, water, water everywhere Where no bird can fly No fish can swim No fish can swim Until the king is born Until the king is born Tupelo Hey, hey, hey, Tupelo Until the king is born in Tupelo In a cardboard shack with a roof of tin Where the rain crashed down and leaked within A young mother froze on a concrete floor With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw Tupelo Tupelo, yeah And a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw A Saturday gives what Sunday steal And a child is born on a brother's heel On a Sunday morning of the firstborn day In a shoebox dyed with a ribbon of red Tupelo Tupelo In a shoebox dyed with a ribbon of red Oh, mama rock your little one slow Mama rock your baby Mama rock your little one slow God of the Tupelo God of the Tupelo And the black rain come down And black rain come down And the king will walk on Tupelo And the king will walk on Tupelo And carry the burden of Tupelo And carry the burden of Tupelo And carry the burden, yeah, of Tupelo Yeah, carry the burden of Tupelo Tupelo Oh, oh yeah The king will walk on Tupelo Tupelo Hey, hey, hey, Tupelo And carry the burden of Tupelo Tupelo Hey, hey, hey, Tupelo Yeah, you will reap just what you sow Oh, oh yeah Tupelo, yeah Tupelo
