Dog's Dead and his brother stands there waiting
Saddest thing I ever saw before
Dog's Dead and his brother stands there watching
Brother stands there a-watching
Spirit hasn't even jumped out yet
(chorus)
Scared that night in the hot moon under the big tree
Scared myself everthing's been there son long
Water from the wood flows so slow
Getting clean in the Mississippi heat
Sweat's not going very far
I'm pouring into the vines growing down the road
I'm pouring into the vines growing down the road
(chorus)
Got a child in my mind
Gonna breathe it in and get it growing
Take the water from the wood and pour it out for the dog
Spirits running with his brother
Spirit's gonna hover
Mississippi air tonight
