Black Sky Songtext
von The Ozark Mountain Daredevils

(HARP & GUITAR INTRO)
well I sure take it with me wherever I go
and you might like to see it but it never does show
like a wind in the valley that never does blow
like the grass in the back that you never did mow
it′s a black sky formin' on the ridge
it′s a woman waitin' standin' on the bridge
it′s the price that you pay for walkin′ on the ledge
it's everything you do and nothin′ that you did
(HARP & GUITAR DITTY)


well you might see me drivin' in the wrong side of town
and you might see me shinin′ when the rain's comin′ down
like a diamond that's hidin' in the lost and found
like a coon that′s runnin′ from a red bone hound
it's a black sky formin′ on the ridge
it's a woman waitin′ standin' on the bridge
it′s the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
it's everything you do and nothin′ that you did
(HARP & GUITAR DITTY)

well the wood keeps burnin′ in the old wood stove
and the cows keep goin' where they done been drove
and a light keeps glowin′ in a dead man's cove
and a loom keeps spinnin′ where the weave gets wove
it's a black sky formin′ on the ridge
it's a woman waitin' standin′ on the bridge
it′s the price that you pay for walkin' on the ledge
it′s everything you do and nothin' that you did
