jay buchanan - true black lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as i walk side by side
oh, with the wicked and the righteous
i wonder to which one of them
i truly belong

[verse 2]
i have tread the narrow path
and i have stumbled through the darkness
and the right i’ve done by many
is all for those that i’ve done wrong

[chorus]
paint my casket true black
and with all i might have cost you
i hope to earn it back
shoo+rah, shoo+rah shoo+rah
shoo+rye, shoo+rye shoo+rye
and with all i might have cost you
i hope to make it right

[verse 3]
i have listened many a year
to the greatest i have known
truth truеr than any voices
that i have evеr heard
[verse 4]
so child, give me your ear
and between them i’m gonna sow
a crop of plenty that will fruit
with every stolen word

[chorus]
paint my casket true black
and for all i might have taught you
i know you’ve taught me back
shoo+rah, shoo+rah shoo+rah
shoo+rye, shoo+rye shoo+rye
and with all i might have cost you
i hope to make it right

[instrumental interlude]

[chorus]
paint my casket true black
if you catch me too far from home
i hope you’ll bring me back
shoo+rah, shoo+rah shoo+rah
shoo+rye, shoo+rye shoo+rye
and with all i might have cost you
i hope to make it right
[verse 5]
i have been deep into the cave
i have pulled out many a stone
common as john or shining bright
mine to carry and mine to hold

[verse 6]
i have pulled out the ragged people
that got too used to being alone
shoulder to shoulder up to the light
that’s where i found my gold

[verse 7]
as i walk side by side
with the wicked and the righteous
i wonder to which one of them
i truly belong

[verse 8/outro]
i have tread the narrow path
i have stumbled through the darkness
and the right i’ve done by many
is all for those that i’ve done wrong
oh! yeah!
