Mr. Williamson

lyrics

But one thing can go wrong
A lifetime of heartache
In a 3 minute song
I haven't rode the rails
With anybody named Slim
But I’d still like a friend now and again

I can't be satisfied
Or become what you are
I can't breathe for your lungs
Or pump for your heart
Floodwaters rise
In the basement
But I’d still like a friend now and again

Now and again Sonny Boy Williamson
Is nobody's friend, just Mr. Williamson
But I’d still like a friend now and again

A light in the eye
A tooth in the dark
The start is a bite
And the end is a bark
The fruit of the tree in time
Will fall from the limb
But I’d still like a friend now and again
