Hersh Kristin - Houdini Blues lyrics

Oh no don't you put me in that box You know what you can do with those locks Bet your life I'll come crawling out again You'll have to deal with me then You'll hear me in the wind. I been on the other side of the Blue Ridge Seen the Shenandoah rolling there I stepped off the mountain's edge Just to climb the golden stair I seen the streets up there I been on the mount transfiguration Been there with my ma and my pa On the mountain of commandment I been handed down the law You should have seen what I saw. I fell to the bottom of Thales' well Caught like a thief with a lamb You know those stars they can cast a spell I been caught with red hands. I scaled the mountains skied the valleys I've done the highs and the lows I don't feel like work today Hell I won't go. Bess I won't go. Just let me at their locks We should all be free Oh Bess I swear I'll call When I'm free from me We should all be free.
