"Little Blue River / In The Garden" lyrics
"Little Blue River / In The Garden"
Roll me over the little blue river
Church child
Roll me over the little blue river
Now church child
Silence and dumb tongues
It's a different kind of ghetto
Carry the weight
(It's heavy)
Of a disreputed fellow
Roll me over the little blue river
Church child
Roll me over the little blue river
Now church child
Every step that you've been taking
Is straying a little further south
As for me I am so tired of living (babe)
So hand-to-mouth
Roll me over the little blue river
Church child
Roll me over the little blue river
Now church child
Hey you wanna steady that cue card
Make it a billboard today
Everybody's saying they want their money back
Ah well baby just roll me away
Out of the mouth of them babies
How they can talk
Best be saving your pennies
Put 'em back for a very long walk
Roll me over the little blue river
Now church child
Roll me

Patty Griffin - "Making Pies" It's not far, I can walk
Down the block to Table Talk
Close my eyes
Make the pies all day
Plastic cap on my hair

'Cause I'm gray...

My protection from what harms
You will reach for me on our darkest days
And I will come home to your arms
