Old Wing Mouth Lyrics


Jimmy Webb Old Wing Mouth

[Verse 1]
Red mud, thick as blood
Curiosity of slaves
Old Wing Mouth brings up Jesus
And he talks about how Jesus saves
He's comin' back to scare you
He'll be here, have no fear
I'll just hold onto this bottom land
'Til God gets here

[Chorus]
Ol' Wing Mouth with his white straw hat and his sugar cane
The Devil will be loosed upon the Earth again
Material possessions are the road to Hell
He came to do good, and he did well
[Verse 2]
Dark skin, woman frowned
The moonlight's on the waves
He has not seen the woman
Ooh, in a hundred and a, a hundred and ninety days
He's gonna love her forever (and ever again)
He'll love her with his pain (and ever 'til end)
You might say he's gonna love her
'Til God comes back again

[Chorus]
Ol' Wing Mouth with his white straw hat and his sugar cane
The Devil will be loosed upon the Earth again
Material possessions are the road to Hell
He came to do good, and he did well

[Chorus]
Ol' Wing Mouth with his white straw hat and his sugar cane (sugar cane)
The devil will be loosed upon the Earth again
Material possessions are the road to hell
He came to do good, and he did well
He did well
So well...
