Reeltime Travelers - Higher Rock (Martha Scanlan) lyrics

Mary weeped over me Mary weeped over me Turned on dime, said to me When you reach for the higher rock Then you reach for me. Saul told David, come play for me Saul told David, come pray for me Trouble in mind won't let me be When you reach for the higher rock, Then you reach for me. Rock in the hand won't let you be Rock in the hand won't let you be It's the open hand, will set you free When you reach for the higher rock Then you reach for me Coal man say he's got a deal for me Coal man say he's got a deal for me That black gold a-chokin me When you reach for the higher rock, Then you reach for me. Shackle and chain cant settle me Shackle and chain cant settle me Been strung up on a dogwood tree When you reach for the higher rock Then you reach for me. Gilded cage is a treachery Gilded cage is a treachery Heart of gold that holds the key When you reach for the higher rock Then you reach for me.
