Page & Plant - Walking into Clarksdale lyrics

When I was born I was running As my feet hit the ground Before I could walk I was humming An old railroad sound Things didn't get much better When by the age of five They found me walking into Clarksdale Trying to keep my friends alive No time for celebration There was no known cure Seems I was born and raised In the wrong k**ing floor And my loved ones gathered 'round See if the experiment had worked I was misplaced, out of time Priveleged and worse Oh, mama please Don't cry for me Tears to the river Tears to be free Now I see twelve white horses, yeah Walking in a line Moving east across the metal Bridge on highway 49 And standing in the shadows Of a burnt out motel The king of Commerce Mississippi waited With his hound from hell, oh A shiny noon riverboat taking Income from the poor It's floating by the levee in An artificial pool There's a six mile tailback Back on junction 304 A stranger at the crossroads Believe I've seen his face before Don't cry for me Tears fill the river Tears to be free Oh, I'm sad to be leaving The sun is going down and I really got to go now I'm sad to be leaving The sun's going down, I really got to go now Really got to go now, ah I gotta go I've got to move I've got to move, yeah, ah I'm sad to be leaving Sun's going down and I really got to go now I'm sad to be leaving The sun's going down and I really got to go now I really got to go now, oh ooh I'm sad to be leaving Sun's going down and I really got to go now I'm sad to be leaving The sun's going down and I really got to go now Really got to go now, yeah Oh, gotta go now, yes Yes, gotta go now Yeah
