Chris & Rich Robinson Magic Rooster Blues Lyrics

Black dove surrender and take me away
Your black heart pretender has got nothing to say
Did you remember I showed you the way
Down my garden path right out of the past that leads to
the light of day

Pale moon deliver my love on the wing
It's been two Septembers since I heard that bird sing
So I'll wait by the river to see what it brings
If she don't come I'll go ask the sun to send her on the
way

So make a little morning out of my midnight
Whisper in my ear baby it's alright Let's put some holes baby in them shoes
Come and sail away in the magic rooster blues

Dark tears turn diamonds strung out on a chain
In a bag of velvet hidden away
And if love's a ransom that I must pay
I'd empty that bag right into her hands and turn and walk
away

So make a little morning out of my midnight
Whisper in my ear baby it's alright
Come and put some holes baby in them shoes
Come and sail away in the magic rooster blues

Come on sail away
