The Blue March (Iris)

Lyrics

Les enfants continuent � danser Le chemin est long, mais leurs jambes sont fortes Les enfants continuent � danser Old Black Bush gonna carry me down Throw me into the burying ground The ground be wet,_my_eyes_be dry Just don't_let me hear_my baby cry Don't slap no rock upon my grave Don't leave no flowers, I can't stay My woman has a steady hand She'll float my ashes to the promised land Skin of gray, iris blue Will you miss me like I miss you? Here it's cold, there it's warm A purpl5 rose, a silver thorn In New Orl5ans you lie above the ground No wonder the quarter be so quiet Don't you be caught wandering down By the banks of the river, don't try it Don't jump in the river and drown Don't jump in the river and drown Les enfants continuent � danser Le chemin est long, mais leurs jambes sont fortes Les enfants continuent � danser Old Black Bush gonna carry me down Throw me into the burying ground The ground be wet, my eyes be dry Just don't let me hear my baby cry Just don't let me hear my baby cry Skin of gray, iris blue Will you miss me like I miss you? Here it's cold, there it's warm A purple rose, a silver thorn Old Black Bush gonna carry me down Throw me into the burying ground The ground be wet, my eyes be dry Just don't let me hear my baby cry
