Sundown Town Ry Cooder

[Intro]
Mine eyes have seen the beauty of a land bright and fair
My soul looked out and wondered, can we make the journey there
But I've lost my sight, um huh, and I have to be led
Well I mean to work for justice till I'm dead

[Chorus]
Sundown town, sundown town
Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goes down
There won't be no more friends around
Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goes down
Look here

[Verse 1]
Well I used to prеach and I used to pray
Was the prayinest man that you еver did see
But they ran my people off one day
Now there ain't nobody round that look like me

[Chorus]
Sundown town, sundown town
Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goes down
There won't be no more friends around
Don't let 'em catch you, Buddy, when the sun goes down

[Verse 2]
Well we used to sing and we used to shout
Was the shoutinest church that you ever did see
But I ain't going to preach no more and I ain't goin' to sing
And I don't feel at home in this town no more
