The Black Sorrows - Walkin' Like a Drownin' Man lyrics

Went down to the river To wash my face and hands I crawled out from the ocean To kneel upon the sand They made me walk on water Then they sank the Promised Land Yes I'm all the way from Babylon Walkin' like a drownin' man I looked out at the city From high upon the hill Babylon was burnin' There was nothin' left to k** They robbed me in the alley Then they gambled for my bones Yes I'm all the way from Babylon How come you never telephone? Well, I'm standin' at your front door While you were crawlin' out your window I'm stumblin' in my footsteps Punchin' in my shadows But if you want me dead and buried You're gonna have to catch me down the road You can take the world by strategy Take the world by storm For a pocket full of silver You can buy it stone by stone I saw you on the TV Wearin' nothin' but a hat You know anywhere in Babylon I can see somebody doin' that (J.
