sooooo many...

"come down off the cross, we could use the wood"
& "singin lead soprano in a jug band choir"- Tom Waits- "come on up to the house"
"Why must I holler , Why must I shake 'em on down?"- Bukka White
too many Dylan to even begin ,but here is a personal favorite-
" Was in another lifetime , one of toil and blood . When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud, I came in from the wilderness ,a creature void of form. Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm."
" I saw Judas Escarot carrying John Wilkes Booth... Down there by the train...."- Johnny Cash
"this time another year , you may be gone , to some lonesome grave yard.Who knows how long?"- old spiritual
I could go on, cool idea.
