HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER
"Drummer Down"
(M.C. Taylor)

Well, it's alright now
Yeah, the pain is gone
It's alright now, little one

Riven from my body
As a ghost I dwell
But my home, oh you know I loved it well

They drew a hex 'round my body
Oh, a hex 'round my soul
And drove me from the place where I did dwell

Driven by my mind
Down roads I didn't know
They were roads that I would never see again

And if blue is the color of my mind
Then blue is the color of my road
Well, I had to ride such a long, long time
But here I am, another drummer down

I chased all of the beasts
Oh the hare and the crow
Oh in the fair and in the snow

No amount of wine
Could quiet my mind
But the blue healer was one I could not know

And if blue is the color of my mind
Then blue is the color of my road
Well, I had to ride such a long, long time
But here I am, another drummer down
