GUEST,JimP Lyrics "One for the rook, one for the crow, ..." (34) Lyr Add: I SAY NO (from In Harmony's Way) 25 Apr 10


This line was used on "I Say No" on the In Harmony's Way CD. I'm sorry, but I don't remember who sang lead on this one, possibly Kim Hughes? Anyway, from the IHW website:

I Say No

Preacher man wanna save my soul an' a
He say "Hellfire!", I say "No," an' a
He say "Give!" an' a I say "Go!" an' a
He say "Hurry-up!" an' a I say "No," an' a

How somebody gonna weight down me? an' a (4 times)

Auction man in a 'bacca row an' a
He say high an' a I say low an' a
He say three an' a I say fo' an' a
He say two an' a I say no an' a

Purty woman make you walk the flo' make you
Beg fo' mercy make you, beg fo' mo' an' a
She say "Come on Daddy" I say "Go!" an' a
She say "Please?" an' a I say no an' a

Plantin' time an' a water's low an' a
They say "Give it up" an' a I say "No, I'll plant
One fo' de cutworm an' a one fo' de crow an' a
One fo' de squirrell an' a one gon' grow!" an' a

Weight down, weight down a-han-a (3 times)
Weight down me, an' a
How somebody gonna weight down me? an' a
How somebody gonna weight down me?
