Lyrics - Sunrise Over Big Muddy by Marleys Ghost

You got yer
Huckleberry
Finn, you got yer crocodile smile,gotcher red beans and rice on yer green radio dial.
You got old
Luke the
Drifter, like a voice from beyondin a scene
I recreate.
Back in that room on a long afternoonand a kid of 6 or 8,
I acquired a taste for that deep
Southern soundwhile them sad old steels whined.
And my mind rolls on like
Big
Muddyback to that slow-moving time.
Well,
I never got down to
Looziann' till
I was 29.
When
I fell in love with a
Creole girl, she stole this soul of mine.
With her deep brown eyes and her beautiful breastsand her lips like rare
French wine.
And we drank our fill of the warm night airwhile the
Cajun fiddles whined.
And watched the sun rise over
Big
Muddyonce upon a wonderful time.
No engineer can take me there - it's lost like a beautiful dream.
But someday
I'll be gone, following a song,
Pretty
Mama, won't you come along with me?
For if you close yer eyes you can't help but harmonize -
It's as easy as laughter and tears.
On dit que
Plus ça change, toules les choses restent al meme.
That old river keeps a-rollin' while she's restin' in her bed,and the music runs on like
Big
Muddy through my headin that lazy old three-quarter time.
