about

Deacon Raleigh on Johnson Swamp Stomper Resonator guitar & percussion (sharp hatchet backside hammering an iron Neptune mask, gongs, tibetan bowl, shell windchimes) I use a wrench socket for slide.

This song is dedicated to my mother and mothers who love and sing to their babies everywhere. It is named, with his permission, after Bill Ray's mother who passed while I was working with him the summer of 2016.

lyrics

Some people, they learn early, that they like to wander, wander.
Keep their eyes, high, on the horizon line.
Keep on movin’, through space.
They’ll be the first ones, to remind you,
That you can’t go back in time. You can’t go back in time.
(repeat line) No…

Some mornings, some mornings they’ll wake you troubled, troubled, troubled, troubled.
Tears from the bad dreams, still on the pillow from your face.
Go to the window, go, all you see are clouds the shape of worry, worry
Worry, that you can’t erase.

But you got to rise, you got to rise, you got to rise up singing,
And go about your day.
Cuz you know sometimes, sometimes,
sometimes a cloudy morning brings forth a pleasant day

If the moon on the waters, was a sound,
well you know that it would be
My momma’s voice, she was layin’ me down
My momma’s voice, she was layin me down
Down down, down down, layin me down.
Oh when she was layin me down. I still remember, my momma
Layin me down, she used sing to me
