Called to Madonna To gi have me a line She said boy what have you done Passing your time with a holy man Talking about the moon and sun But I can not tell the difference Between the fool and wise Show me a river to follow Away from all these lies
I have been on my own so long Wont you lend me your hand I have been picking up my bones too long Wont you understand
Called to the captain To put me ashore For it looked like no mans land Is this the way to follow I cried as I shook his hand He told me had no answer He didnt really hold the key Ima simple man Was all he said to me
I have been on my own so long Wont you lend me a hand I have been out in the cold too long Wont you understand I have been on the road so long Wont you lend me your hand I have been out in the cold too long Wont you understand
Heard my mother crying She was calling out my name Whisper in the dark night Saying whos to blame The hour glass keeps turning With not enought sand to see Ima holy man So dont you bother me
I have been on my own so long Wont you lend me your hand I have been pickin up my bones too long Wont you understand I have been on my own so long Wont you lend me your hand I have been out in the cold too long Wont you understand?
