Long Summer Day(Acoustic) (Acoustic) - Two Gallants[00:00:00]
Well the summer day make a white man lazy[00:00:28]
Well all I've ever known is poor[00:00:39]
Owe my skin to the country store[00:00:42]
Throw my walls my roof my door[00:00:45]
But he tells me I'm free[00:00:48]
But I fight the will to live[00:00:51]
Hell might take but heaven gives[00:00:53]
It's the only one so I'll forgive[00:00:56]
And Im not the one to grieve[00:00:59]
And the summer day make a white man lazy[00:01:01]
He sits on his porch killing time[00:01:08]
I gotta work to feed my wife and baby[00:01:13]
I work so god damn hard that it's a crime[00:01:19]
Well I went down to the polling place[00:01:25]
The white men there just laughed in my face[00:01:27]
Saying boy this ain't no nigger's race[00:01:30]
You best get on your way[00:01:33]
Sir I believe I've got the right[00:01:36]
Said you ain't got nothing if you ain't white[00:01:39]
And I thought I said get out of site[00:01:41]
Well what was I to say [00:01:44]
And the summer day make a white man lazy[00:01:47]
He sits on his porch killing time[00:01:53]
I gotta work to feed my wife and baby[00:01:59]
I work so god damn hard that it's a crime[00:02:04]
When I was 'bout the age of five[00:02:10]
Watched my daddy burned alive[00:02:13]
They cut him low and they hung him high[00:02:16]
Swayin' in the breeze[00:02:19]
The last words I heard him say[00:02:22]
Before they stole his life that day[00:02:24]
Was forgive them lord they gone astray[00:02:27]
Now take me to my knees[00:02:30]
And the summer day make a white man lazy[00:02:32]
He sits on his porch killing time[00:02:39]
But the summer day make a nigger feel crazy[00:02:44]
Might make me do something out of line[00:02:50]
Well I don't know but I heard tell[00:03:18]
Of a fungus below a place called hell[00:03:21]
And who would catch me if I fell [00:03:24]
Who would pray for me [00:03:27]
But one thing I see for sure[00:03:30]
It's hot as hell up here I know[00:03:32]
And the devil lives right down the road[00:03:35]
It's all the same to me[00:03:38]
And a summer day make a white man feel lazy[00:03:40]
He sits on his porch killing time[00:03:46]
But the summer day make a nigger feel crazy[00:03:52]
Might make me do something out of line[00:03:58]
But if you should see my wife[00:04:03]
Tell her that I won't be home tonight[00:04:05]
So don't leave on the light[00:04:09]
I got a little buisness down the road[00:04:12]
And If I'm dead by sunrise[00:04:17]
Kiss my baby girl for me[00:04:20]
It ain't life if it ain't free[00:04:23]
I've got a mighty burden to unload[00:04:26]
