carl simmons - ragamuffin bluebird pt. 2 lyrics

met her by the maypole by that mississippi moon
the sun will shine as soon as
you begin to sleep in the dew
you remember the ragam+ffin blues
you used to sing along and we did too

lots that haunts us started things
carter taught her daughters to sing
startin’ with the lover brings
mockingbirds and diamond rings
dead boat sink they’re to be found
ends up hilltop burial ground
kinfolk come from miles around
to see sweet sarah’s wedding gown

while hava nagila is softly repeated
under the breath of the priestess’ sister, too slow

sarah+jane gone run home cryin’
up her window+case i climb
kiss her eyelids seven times
through that poison+sumac vine
what makes you so sad? pray+tell
this, my love, i’ll never tell
for i must leave now, fair thee well
to the fiery gates of h+ll
i could never be your wife
draped in rows of endless white
i know now what’s right is right
it came to me in a dream last night
where hava nagila was softly repeated
under the breath of the priestess’ sister
and i saw my mother in flesh wove of clover
she pointed to the daughter
the devil had sold her
tongue cast in silver
unraveled the answers

i could never be your…

dream subsides
to the vine you climb
kiss me mine eyes
for the very last time
to the boat i ride
could you see me through?

hilltop church empties in time
bride, groom, costume, funeral line
like his face i try to hide
from the darkened pines i spied
don’t worry, sarah, your mamma’s there
as my love she disappeared
through a thousand mirrored tears
as carried on the wind i heared
how hava nagila was softly repeated
under the breath of the priestess’ sister too slow

(hava nagila, hava nagila, hava nagila)
