letra de long time gone - odetta

my parents raised me tenderly
i was their only one
my mind got mixed with ramblin’
when i was all so young
i left my home the first time
when i was twelve and one
and i’m a long time a-comin’, ma
i’ll be a long time gone

i remember when i’s ramblin’
around with the carnival trains
different towns, different people
somehow they’re all the same
i remember children’s faces bеst
i remember travеlin’ on
and i’m a long time a-comin’
i’ll be a long time gone

many times by the highwayside
i tried to flag a ride
with bloodshot eyes and gritting t–th
i’d watch the cars roll by
i’d banged my head against the wind
and shouted at a stone
and i’m a long time a-comin’
an’ i’ll be a long time gone
you might see me on your crossroads
when i am passin’ through
remember me how you wish to
as i’m a-driftin’ from your view
i ain’t got the time to think about it
i got too much to get done
well, i’m a long time a-comin’
an’ i’ll be a long time gone

if i can’t help somebody
with a word or song
if i can’t show somebody
they are travelin’ wrong
but i know i ain’t no prophet
an’ i ain’t no prophet’s son
i’m just a long time a-comin’
an’ i’ll be a long time gone

so you can have your beauty
it’s skin deep and it only lies
and you can have your youth
it’ll rot before your eyes
just give to me my gravestone
with it clearly carved upon:
“i’s a long time a-comin’
an’ i’ll be a long time gone”
my parents raised me tenderly
i was their only one
my mind got mixed with ramblin’
when i was all so young
i left my home the first time
when i was twelve and one
and i’m a long time a-comin’, ma
an’ i’ll be a long time gone

i’m a long time a-comin’, ma
an’ i’ll be a long time gone
