Looka yonder
A-looka yonder
Looka yonder, a big black cloud come
A big black cloud come
Here comes to Tupelo, comes to Tupelo
Yonder on the horizon, yonder on the horizon
Stopped at the mighty river, stopped at the mighty river
Sucked the damn thing dry, sucked the damn thing dry
(Tupelo) oh, Tupelo
In a valley hides a town called Tupelo
Well, distant thunder rumble, distant thunder rumble
Rumble hungry like the Beast
The Beast it cometh, cometh down
The Beast it cometh, cometh down
The Beast it cometh, cometh down
Whoa-whoa-oh, Tupelo bound
(Tupelo) yeah, oh Tupelo
The Beast it cometh, Tupelo bound
Why the hen won't lay no egg?
Can't get that cock to crow
The nag is spooked and crazy
Oh, God help Tupelo
Oh, God help Tupelo
Oh, God help Tupelo
Oh, God help Tupelo
You can say these streets are rivers
You can call these rivers streets
You tell yourself you're dreamin', buddy
But no sleep runs this deep
No, no sleep runs this deep
No, no sleep runs this deep
All women at their windows
Rain crashing on the pane
Writing in the frost
Tupelo's shame, Tupelo's shame
Tupelo's shame, Tupelo's shame
Oh, God help Tupelo
Oh, God help Tupelo
Oh, God help Tupelo
Oh, God help Tupelo
Oh, go to sleep, little children
The sandman's on his way
Oh, go to sleep, little children
The sandman's on his way
Oh, but the little children know
But the little children know
They listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
The sandman's mud
The sandman's mud
The sandman's mud
The sandman's mud
And the black rain come down
The black rain come down
The black rain come down
Oh, water, water, everywhere
Water, water, everywhere
Where no bird can fly, no fish can swim
No bird can fly, no fish can swim
No fish can swim until the King is born
(Tupelo) until the King is born in Tupelo
Until the King is born in Tupelo
In a clap-board shack with a roof of tin
Where the rain first down and leaked within
A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
(Tupelo) oh, Tupelo
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
Well, Saturday gives what Sunday steals
And a child is born on his brother's heels
Sunday morn the first-born dead
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
(Tupelo) oh, Tupelo
In a shoebox buried with a ribbon of red
Oh, mama, rock you little one slow
Mama, rock your baby
Mama, rock you little one slow
God help Tupelo
God help Tupelo
Mama, rock you little one slow
Mama, rock you little one slow
The little one will walk on Tupelo
The little one will walk on Tupelo
Black rain come down, black rain come down
Tears obliterate upon a throne
Hills obliterate upon a throne
Wipe that seat and fan it down
Ripped and married and killed away
And the King will walk on Tupelo
The King will walk on Tupelo
(Tupelo) and carry the burden of Tupelo
And carry the burden of Tupelo
And carry the burden of Tupelo
And carry the burden of Tupelo
(Tupelo) oh, Tupelo
Yeah, the King will walk on Tupelo
(Tupelo) Tupelo, Tupelo
The King will walk on Tupelo
(Tupelo) oh Tupelo, oh Tupelo
Yeah, the King will walk on Tupelo
(Tupelo) yeah, on Tupelo
He carried the burden outta Tupelo
(Tupelo) yeah, yeah, Tupelo
He carried the burden outta Tupelo
(Tupelo) hey, hey, hey, Tupelo
He carried the burden outta Tupelo
(Tupelo) yeah, yeah, yeah, Tupelo
You will reap just what you sow
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, Tupelo
A-looka yonder
Looka yonder, a big black cloud come
A big black cloud come
Here comes to Tupelo, comes to Tupelo
Yonder on the horizon, yonder on the horizon
Stopped at the mighty river, stopped at the mighty river
Sucked the damn thing dry, sucked the damn thing dry
(Tupelo) oh, Tupelo

Oh, go to sleep, little children
The sandman's on his way
Oh, but the little children know
But the little children know
They listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
Listen to the beating of their blood
The sandman's mud
The sandman's mud

And the black rain come down
The black rain come down
The black rain come down
Oh, water, water, everywhere
Water, water, everywhere
