Mickey Gilley - Oh Singer lyrics

Oh, singer sing me an old song Oh, singer sing me an old song, Sing me an old song about the cotton bales Tell me how the good earth feels Down in the high white cotton 'Cause in my life I'll never get to walk On my knees in the fields. Oh, singer sing about the railroad Sing about a coal shovellin' fireman on the L & N rail Let me gather 'round the fire With all the people in the depot 'Cause in my life singer, I'll never ride those coal fired trains. Take me back, oh singer, take me back I'm livin' a life I can't slow down 'cept with a song And I wanna know how the people made it Without the big corporations I wanna feel how the people lived when life was slow. Oh singer, take me to the river I wanna ride those big river boat down to New Orleans I wanna lean overboard And wash my hands in the Mississipi water 'Cause singer, I can only ride Those boat in a song you sing. Take me back, oh singer, take me back I'm livin' a life I can't slow down 'cept with a song And I wanna know how the people Made it without the big corporations I wanna feel how the people Lived when life was slow. Take me back, oh singer, take me back I'm livin' a life I can't slow down 'cept with a song And I wanna know how the people Made it without the big corporations I wanna feel how the people Lived when life was slow...
