Leaving Eden - Carolina Chocolate Drops[00:00:00]
Hush now don't you wake up[00:00:15]
We'll be leaving at first light[00:00:17]
Mama's buying you a mockingbird[00:00:20]
To lull you through the night[00:00:24]
Across the Dan by morning[00:00:29]
Here's a blanket for you to share[00:00:32]
They're building down in Georgia[00:00:35]
Daddy hears he'll find work there[00:00:38]
And the mockingbird can sing[00:00:43]
Like the crying of the dove[00:00:46]
And I can't tell my daughters[00:00:50]
All the things that I am scared of[00:00:53]
But I am not afraid of[00:00:59]
That bright glory up above[00:01:02]
Dying's just another way[00:01:06]
To lead the ones you love[00:01:09]
No work for the working man[00:01:17]
Just one more empty mill[00:01:20]
Hard times in Rockingham[00:01:23]
Hard times harder still[00:01:26]
The crows are in the kitchen[00:01:31]
The wolves at the door[00:01:34]
Our father's land of Eden[00:01:37]
Is paradise no more[00:01:41]
And the mockingbird can sing[00:01:45]
Like the crying of the dove[00:01:48]
And I can't tell my daughters[00:01:52]
All the things that I am scared of[00:01:54]
But I am not afraid of[00:02:01]
That bright glory up above[00:02:04]
Dying's just another way[00:02:08]
To lead the ones you love[00:02:11]
My sister stayed in Eden[00:03:02]
Her husband's got some land[00:03:05]
An agent for the county thinks[00:03:08]
That they might make a stand[00:03:11]
A hard life full of working[00:03:16]
With nothing much to show[00:03:19]
A long life of leaving[00:03:22]
With nowhere to go[00:03:25]
And the mockingbird can sing[00:03:30]
Like the crying of the dove[00:03:33]
And I can't tell my daughters[00:03:36]
All the things[00:03:39]
That I am scared of[00:03:40]
But I am not afraid[00:03:46]
Of that bright glory up above[00:03:48]
Dying's just another way to lead the ones you love[00:03:52]
