![]() Before The Frost... (2009) [ larger cover art ] |
Well there's a ruckus on the levee
Unruly crowd on the courthouse steps
And if I make it to Sunday
I'm sho'nuff going to ask the good lord for help
With a mouthful of salt, I tried to explain
If money was sand, I couldn't hold one grain
Feel like a thief that knows he's been framed
For leaving the watch but stealing the chain
Good morning captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin'
Me to roll around in her bed all day
Well the late night's got me reeling
Spilling out the bottle right into the next day
Got a funny little feeling
Gonna be like this until my dying day
There's mud in my eye but I can still see
Everybody in town is trying to murder me
If they don't get me, s'pose the hangman will
I better think twice about making this deal
Good morning captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin'
Me to roll around in her bed all day
Magnolia, magnolia
Let me rest under the shade of your leaves
Good morning captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin'
Me to roll around in her bed all day
Good morning captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin'
Me to roll around in her bed all day

A lot of people probably asked such questions about men's hairstyles in the 1960s and '70s, when that photo was likely taken. Maybe he wore a hat went he went out in public for "non-Kangaroo" activities. |

| madaxeman (Scottish west coast) | Posted: Oct 02, 2012 - 10:06 So they doff their caps to Little Feet and The Band - no problem here. They also doff their (collective) hat to The Stones too. these are all good things to do. It's a cracking song from a cracking album, a solid 8. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jan 09, 2011 - 20:44 I didn't like this song the first time I heard it (long, boring explanation deleted), but now, I'm really taken with it. The Crowes, for all their sibling-animosity and egos, come through in the crunch, and for me, this song proves it. ![]() |

It is alive and well. Example: How about My Morning Jacket? The Crowes have really found themselves of late. They did an acoustic set on Palladia a couple of years ago and it is still one of my favorites. Glad you finally saw the light with Porcupine Tree!!! Welcome to the fold. Oh, and I like ALL CAPS. It is expression and who knows, maybe you're an engineer/architect at work who forgot to turn them off. Wouldn't be the first time for me. Peace. Horstman |
| TreborG2 (VA - which is..'somewhere' east of paradise) | Posted: May 21, 2010 - 04:50 wow... The Black Crowes ... now if they did more like this ... I could finally make an album of just them... but it would take at least 5 or 6 more as good as this. |

| ddbz (The Midwest) | Posted: Mar 29, 2010 - 21:59 I recently looked at RP's playlist of the 'Black Crowes' and I could not disagree with anything so profoundly?.... I personally have spent more time than I am happy with deciding weather ' Southern Harmony' or 'Amorica' is the better album and as I sit here I am still undecided? There are ten times better 'Crowes' songs!!!.... But not better 'Heads' songs..................perfect |
| Chi_Guy (Chicago) | Posted: Feb 15, 2010 - 06:07 This Cut...Unmistakable "Little Feat" The greatest band that never had a hit! |
| Harpua (Atlanta) | Posted: Feb 09, 2010 - 04:18 I know several said Little Feat, but I'm hearing "Tennessee Jed". |
