Testo Peppertree

When they march me down the road, suh
When them ride me down the road, duh

Mahogany with the gold trim
Silent except for children cryin'
They never even knew him, then trumpets fly
The bear is shinin' shoes
Sinking away ground, horns vying Sun rise, in the pit lying in waitin'
Like a clever lion, mouth gapin'
And after they ate, chicken, rice, peas, sticky cake
The children laughing and playing, forgot they place
Plates and dishеs piled in washers
Women whispеr, men talk circles

When them ride me down, suh
When them take me down, suh

Barebacked over [?] nephew
Marijuana cigars, hittin' hearts
A dark road carved, the blackness stretch like tar
Dogs beg for scraps at the edge of the hearth
But it's something else out there in the dark Something else out there in the dark
Something else out there where you are
Something else out there

When them bring me up the road, suh
When them take me up the road, suh
Peppertree [?] on mi tombstone
