Sweet Jeremiah

Lyrics

[Chorus] Come on, please, Jeremiah Come on, sweet Jeremiah [Verse] There's a little tale I learned in jail, just across the county line: Oh, Jeremiahs story, left alone in a washed-out silver mine Now they say old Jake he was on the take, but I know him real fine— It's just that he would freak from time to time [Chorus] Come on, please, Jeremiah Come on, Sweet Jeremiah [Verse] Blind and drunk and tight as a skunk he would wind up every night And lose his pants to some romantic shadow in the night Now, it's not that he gets lonesome—no, it's just that it gets hard To find a lady in the railroad yard (Aw, c'mere, boy!) [Chorus] Come on, please, Jeremiah Come on, Sweet Jeremiah (Come on, come on, give it to me) [Bass Guitar Solo] [Verse] Last I heard, he gave his word to meet me in L.A But, like as not, he just forgot, or else he died along the way I suppose it only shows how far a man can stray So leave a map pin on your dying day [Chorus] Come on, please, Jeremiah Come on, sweet Jeremiah Come on, please, Jeremiah Come on, Sweet Jeremiah (Aw, bring it on home.)
