Sucked the damn thing dry

Rumble hungry like the Beast

Writing in the frost

O go to sleep lil children
37
The sandmans on his way

Where no bird can fly no fish can swim

Until The King is born!
56
Until The King is born!
57
In Tupelo! Tupelo-o-o!
58
Til The King is born in Tupelo!
59
In a clap-board shack with a roof of tin
60
Where the rain came down and leaked within
61
A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
62
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
63
Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo!
64
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw
65
Well Saturday gives what Sunday steals
66
And a child is born on his brothers heels
67
Come Sunday morn the first-born dead
68
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red
69
Tupelo-o-o! Hey Tupelo!
70
In a shoebox buried with a ribbon of red
71
O ma-ma rock you lil' one slow
72
O ma-ma rock your baby
73
O ma-ma rock your lil' one slow
74
O God help Tupelo! O God help Tupelo!
75
Mama rock your lil' one slow
76
The lil one will walk on Tupelo
77
The lil one will walk on Tupelo
78
Black rain come down, Black rain come down
79
Tupelo-o-o! Yeah Tupelo!
80
And carry the burden of Tupelo
81
Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo! Yeah!
82
The King will walk on Tupelo!
83
Tupelo-o-o! O Tupelo!
84
He carried the burden outa Tupelo!
85
Tupelo-o-o! Hey Tupelo! [Repeat]
86
You will reap just what you sow
