Alvin Youngblood Hart
recording of 2000
from
Start With The Soul (Rykodisc or Hannibal 1449)
Got a tale to tell
Gonna carry it to the world
'Bout I came and I saw, yeah
Trees was dyin', chillun cryin', yeah
Fish was floatin', famine risin'
Father, son
On the run
Chillun' stole from their mothers
World o' pain, some insane
Make a mule out of others
Watch your mouth
Don't you shout
Even talk without knowin'
Future man, he understand
Where I been an' where I'm goin'
Got a tale to tell
Gonna carry it to the world
'Bout I came an' I saw
