letra de long black coat - mike goodson
long black coat
he was a whole lot smarter than the rest of us.
his mama always let him drive the school bus.
when other kids called him names he never looked back.
he was the first to put pennies on the railroad track.
he said, “you better stay in school or the devil will get your goat
and send you on home in a long black coat.
the devil send you home in a long black coat.”
he listened to jd souther and knew every word.
he could play every single note of the beatles’ “blackbird.”
everywhere he went, we always followed along
just in case we’d hear him sing a new song (we’d want to sing along).
he said, “tall walls ain’t enough, you gotta dig a moat,
and the devil sends you home in a long black coat.
you know the devil bring you home in a long black coat.”
when he went off to college, we knew he’d do fine
with his gift of gab and a very strong mind.
he never suffered fools lightly anyway.
“talk to the hand” is all he would say.
he said, “try hard as you can, but your chances are remote.
’cause the devil wants you home in a long black coat.
you know the devil wants you home in a long black coat.”
it’s thirty years later now and he’s still in school.
he’s a professor – trying to teach those fools.
i checked out his website – he still looks great,
but i want to ask him, “is it all just luck or maybe just fate? (i can’t wait!)
he’d say, “you don’t put 10 kids in a three-man boat
‘cause the devil wants you home in a long black coat.”
he said “i opened up my case, but i never ever blew a note
and the devil wants me home in a long black coat.”
he said, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it float
and the devil still brings you home in a long black coat.
you know the devil bring you home in a long black coat.”
that’s all.
gordy, goody, woody and thumper, woody is the best one…
