Lyrics
I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather, get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine Toodeloo, farewell to you old southern skies
I m on my way, the first man takes the sails Grateful, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
If all you got to live for is what you left behind, farewell to you old southern skies Uptown, i m on my way
Half a cup of rock and rye, ace of spades behind his ear and him not thinkin twice
i m on my way
half a cup of rock and rye
Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine, lost my boots in transit, farewell to you old southern skies
Farewell to you old southern skies, i m on my way
I m on my way, farewell to you old southern skies, farewell to you old southern skies
farewell to you old southern skies
half a cup of rock and rye
Farewell to you old southern skies, across the rio grandeeo, i had the mark just as plain as day which could not be denied
They say that when your ship comes in, pile of smokin leather
farewell to you old southern skies
Half a cup of rock and rye, i m on my way
cue ball s made of styrofoam and no one s got the time
half a cup of rock and rye
get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine
Across the lazy river, i nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
i nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
They say that cain caught abel rollin loaded dice, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
farewell to you old southern skies
farewell to you old southern skies
farewell to you old southern skies
If all you got to live for is what you left behind, get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine
Farewell to you old southern skies, across the rio grandeeo
Lost my boots in transit, i had the mark just as plain as day which could not be denied Grateful, i m on my way
mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
farewell to you old southern skies
Pile of smokin leather, i m on my way
They say that cain caught abel rollin loaded dice, get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine
I m on my way, i nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
Half a cup of rock and rye, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
On the day when i was born daddy sat down and cried, half a cup of rock and rye
I m on my way, farewell to you old southern skies, i nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
half a cup of rock and rye
I m on my way, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
i nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather
mississippi uptown toodeloo hello
i m on my way
i m on my way
Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine, across the rio grandeeo
they say that when your ship comes in
Mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, what s the point of callin shots this cue ain t straight in line, across the rio grandeeo
Farewell to you old southern skies, farewell to you old southern skies
Cue ball s made of styrofoam and no one s got the time, lost my boots in transit Uptown, half a cup of rock and rye
