In a clap board shack with a roof of tin
45
Where the rain crash down and leaked within
46
A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
47
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw

Tupelo, oh, Tupelo
49
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
50
Saturday gives what Sunday steals
51
And a child is born on his brothers heels

Sunday morning and the first born dead
53
In a shoe box tied with a ribbon of red
54
Tupelo, oh, Tupelo
55
In a shoe box buried with a ribbon of red

Oh, mama, rock you little one slow

Mama rock your baby

Mama rock your little one slow

God help Tupelo, God help Tupelo

Black rain come down

And the King will walk on Tupelo

The King will walk on Tupelo
64
And carry the burden of Tupelo

And carry the burden of Tupelo
66
And carry the burden of Tupelo
67
And carry the burden of Tupelo
68
Tupelo, oh, Tupelo, yeah
69
King will walk on Tupelo
70
Hey, hey, hey Tupelo
71
And carry the burden of Tupelo
72
Yeah, yeah, yeah Tupelo
73
And you will reap just what you sow
74
Oh, oh, yeah, oh Tupelo
