larry “jinx” alexander - tadpole simpson lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
tadpole simpson was a friend of mine
made our livin’ with a hook and a line
raised on the banks of the tennessee
i raised tad and he raised me

[verse 2]
had a homemade boat all coated with tar
[?] wine in a mason jar
had a trawl+line down at the mouth of the creek
treehouse by the river that didn’t leak

[chorus]
tadpole simpson, you’re a lucky man
there’s a lotta people all over this land
who’d give up the money and the jewellery too
just to spend one day walkin’ in your shoe

[verse 3]
the river gets high and the river gets low
people come and people go
i got a job on the mississippi line
used to pass the treehouse from time to time

[verse 4]
i’d blow the whistle, old tad would wave back
tad was content in his riverbank shack
i saw the world, what there was to see
saw all the pain and the misery
[chorus]
tadpole simpson, you’re a lucky man
there’s a lotta people all over this land
who’d give up the money and the jewellery too
just to spend one day walkin’ in your shoe
to spend one day walkin’ in your shoe

[verse 5]
somewhere deep inside of me
i long for that shack back in tennessee
but i know now i been gone too long
riverboat man ain’t got no home
lord, the riverboat man ain’t got no home

[chorus]
i said, tadpole simpson, you’re a lucky man
i know people scattered over this land
who’d give up the money and the jewellery too
just to spend one day walkin’ in your shoe
just to spend one day walkin’ in your shoe
