Listen to the sound of the night bird singin' I wonder who he calls My fingers hurt so bad, it's got me grinnin' And I wonder can I do it all Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river Looking out for boulders and falls A woman she watches from the top of the canyon Hopin' we don't drown us all Help me now, I got to slow down Hear my singin' call Hurt myself bad on a run through the desert
Threw a shoe and took a bad fall Long for the peace that the ancients bring me Murmur of the lowlands shut my jaw Help me now, I got to slow down Hear my singin' call Everyone knows there's a price for the askin' Some people buy themselves a doll Help me, sweet Jesus I'm weary from the journey I need to tell my brothers what I saw Help me now, I got to slow down Hear my singin' call
