sweet shadow man lyrics
behind a louisiana juke, nineteen sixty+two
when we all knew where the jim crow flew
and sodomy was a huge taboo
i came creeping to you

you had a downcast eye on the back of the bus
when we was on the down low hush
but the midnight moon made my hot blood gush
when i came creeping to you
when i came creeping to you

oh, sweet shadow man, nap nap nappy hair
oh, sweet shadow man, meet you in the weeds, i swear
on sat+rday night when the sun went down
i was laying on my back and bare
on sunday morning when the sun came up
i was a white baptist in prayer

lunch counter for me, lunch counter for you
fountain for whites and another one too
but it came to nothing after we got through
when i came creeping to you

can’t you hear mama weep and wail?
daddy’s shotgun’s got rock salt and nails
he’d shoot me dead and he’d shoot me too
if he knew i was creeping to you
if he knew i was creeping to you
oh, sweet shadow man setting my loins on fire
oh, sweet shadow man, fill me with your long thick spire
on sat+rday night when the sun went down
i was twitching like a bird on a wire
on sunday morning when the sun came up
i was a dirty rotten low down liar
dirty rotten low down liar
dirty rotten low down liar
