lirik lagu malcolm holcombe – back in ’29
[verse 1]
ol’ joe bryson lived down a dirt road in the holler
no use for no license and that automobile
he got to town on his own two feet
[verse 2]
tough stained hands from raisin’ his cattle and t’bacca
and soft -hearted for the shiny clean cherokee hair
rosalee could sit on in her rockin’ chair
[verse 3]
a dollar a day he made at the sawmill by the river
and lost outta work like everyone and taxes comin’ due
he heard the news and you know it’s the truth
[refrain]
back in ’29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine
[chorus]
he cried, rosalee i’m leavin’ at sunrise
i heard ’em talkin’ down at the stockyard
there’s jobs up north and i know it
rosalee i’m walkin’ to detroit
rosalee i’m walkin’ to detroit
[refrain]
back in ’29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine
[verse 4]
ol’ joe bryson sent money from kentucky to the holler
soft-hearted for the shiny clean cherokee hair
rosalee could sit on in her rockin’ chair’
[refrain]
back in ’29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine
[chorus]
he cried, rosalee i’m leavin’ at sunrise
i heard ’em talkin’ down at the stockyard
there’s jobs up north and i know it
rosalee i’m walkin’ to detroit
rosalee i’m walkin’ to detroit
[refrain]
back in ’29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine
[verse 5]
the years rolled on past the wheels on his chair in the city
no use for no license and that automobile
he’s gone to heaven with his own two feet
[chorus]
he cried, rosalee i’m leavin’ at sunrise
i heard ’em talkin’ down at the stockyard
there’s jobs up north and i know it
rosalee i’m walkin’ to detroit
rosalee i’m walkin’ to detroit
[refrain]
back in ’29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine
[chorus]
he cried, rosalee i’m leavin’ at sunrise
i heard ’em talkin’ down at the stockyard
there’s jobs up north and i know it
rosalee i’m walkin’ to detroit
rosalee i’m walkin’ to detroit
[refrain]
back in ’29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine
[refrain]
back in ’29, back in nineteen and twenty-nine
