16 horsepower straw foot lyrics

i guess you didn't hear me

when i told you for the first time

well don't you worry

it won't be the last

all i need a floorboard

an' a wooden shoe

step aside an' let my lady through



hey foot, straw foot

low we lay 'em down

hey foot, straw foot

up an' back around



see the high priest

he took my place

when the judge looks to me

he saw his son's face

not gonna join you in

your tower of babble, boy

tired o' that talkin'

i'm sick o' that noise



hey foot, straw foot

Low we lay 'em down

hey foot, straw foot

Coverin' ground



i'm not alone

an' looks can be deceivin'

when we get down to it

you're talkin' when you

should be leavin'

i've been to nebraska

it reminded me of spain

all the questions loaded

all my answers same



hey foot, straw foot

Low we lay 'em down

Hay foot, straw foot

Coverin' ground



let us not mince our words

let's say it true this time

i need your forgiveness

just like you need mine

tell me how it is that

you don't want what he's given

it ain't no sin son

to be forgiven



hey foot, straw foot

low we lay 'em down

hey foot, straw foot

all over town
