Lyrics

Hey ya ya, you know I done tumbled Tripping and a tumbling into so many troubles But it wasn't my fault, I swear to God the bumpers Lord, it wasn't my fault, my sister, my brother, yeah Well I'm running through the mud, mosses and the briars Running through the cypress shallows just to save my life I'm a man who's been through hell, I know it well Ready for my final day with the devil, yeah A coon for my dinner, a possum for the pillar The faucet satisfied, the air is thick down where the bayou flows Oh, I gotta get back to the land where I once was before I wanna see Africa and my family The black king who sold me on that coast to slavery I'm gonna kill that king, kill the king That's the price that I have to pay for selling me Yeah! Ooh yeah, that's a runaway life Bye bye, gonna run tonight My life, that's a runaway life I'm running to die in the big woods Woo!
