Uphill Mountain - Jackie Greene[00:00:00]
Big Joe Turner Elmore James[00:00:21]
Street survivor selling walking canes[00:00:25]
"Give your babies holy names for me"[00:00:30]
Now I don’t know but I’ve been told[00:00:36]
You never grow up and you’ll never get old[00:00:41]
You can watch the world being bought and sold[00:00:45]
All on your T V [00:00:50]
Sometimes it gets a little rough[00:00:58]
Like the wheel's made of steel going an uphill mountain[00:01:01]
Better stand tall if you’re gonna stand at all[00:01:06]
And if you’re gonna fall well you might as well fall[00:01:11]
Build a house honey make it home[00:01:18]
Gonna make a place man where I can be alone[00:01:22]
Don't the yard look pretty when it's overgrown [00:01:26]
Standing six feet tall[00:01:31]
This ain’t a riot but it’s a living[00:01:36]
You’ve got to take just what you are given[00:01:41]
Cause luck only matters with the cards and the women[00:01:45]
And sometimes not at all[00:01:49]
Sometimes it gets a little rough[00:01:57]
Like the wheel's made of steel going an uphill mountain[00:02:00]
Better stand tall if you’re gonna stand at all[00:02:05]
And if you’re gonna fall well you might as well fall[00:02:10]
Peeping tom said to Madame Rose[00:02:42]
"I’ve seen you twice already without your clothes [00:02:46]
What I suggest honey what I propose[00:02:50]
Is that you see me without mine"[00:02:54]
Tell John Henry and Cassius Clay[00:03:00]
Swinging iron for a living is one hell of a way[00:03:04]
But whatever you do don’t let your hammer stray[00:03:08]
I believe we’ll be just fine[00:03:13]
Sometimes it gets a little rough[00:03:17]
Like the wheels made of steel going an uphill mountain[00:03:24]
Stand tall if you’re gonna stand at all[00:03:28]
And if you’re gonna crawl well you might as well crawl[00:03:33]
Yes you might as well crawl[00:03:40]
