Cabin John Lyrics
Don't you know what time it is? It's early
I know you find it hard to sleep but
Surely you will, surely you will
Lay down
I'm an evil man I don't mind sayin'
I've been drinkin' all this day
Keep your tongue still and your eyes wide open
These words are all I've got to say
Never truck with a lie
Turn around and leave it lie
Turn around and leave it
Turn around and leave it lie
When it rains, it pours
When it rains, lay down
My roof has got a leak but only when it's raining
It's a shifty lookin' beater
Naked arms and legs and buckets dripping
The water's sweet, the woman sweeter
I'm goin' over Jordan, I'm goin' over Jordan
I'm goin' way back home to meet her
When it rains, it pours
When it rains
Lay down lay down lay down lay down
My name is forgettable
So I invite you to remember this tale
My days have been miserable
But don't you get the wrong idea
The rhythm of her cool northern voice
Drew me in and I didn't have a choice
The rhythm of her cool northern smile
Drew me in and I've been there for a while
The rhythm of her cool northern ways
Drew me in and now I spend my days

Remembering
Remembering the rain
Drink from the vessel I drink from. Eat from my plate
This poor dry meal my supper, bathe in the taste of my fate
Never truck with a lie. Oh no
Turn around and leave it lie
Turn around and leave it
Turn around and leave it
Turn around and leave it lie
When it rains, it pours
When it rains
Lay down lay down lay down lay down
This conversation began a hundred years ago
A book of days within that year
Body's severed from it's soul
Dead ground turning, dead ground turning
My mind's a tomb within my skull
When it rains, it pours
When it rains
Lay down lay down lay down lay down
When it rains, it pours
When it rains
Lay down lay down lay down lay down
Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down
