Killing Floor
By Dalton Domino
[Verse]
A
Oh black bird won?t you sing my song, Blackbird sing a song for me.
My soul can sway, my body hangs, underneath her sycamore tree.
A
Oh her ghost won?t let me be she keeps a calling out my name
A
I?m going send the evil woman straight to hell when I set this house up in flames
D
When I set this house up in flames
[Chorus]
A
Old black bird won?t you sing my song while they take my soul away
I hear the devil calling out howling, St. Peter just sealed my fate
D
I once had a lover but I caught her with another now she don?t come
G
around no more
A G D
Oh Black bird won?t you sing my song while I wait on the killing
A
floor.
River?s gonna rise even under moon light, Shake em up you can?t hide from me.
I?m gonna make you live a life on the run for taking away Emily.
A
Go on dig her six feet down and add my bones with the rest.
A
As God as mine when this list?s fever pitch god could raise the dead.
D
Lord he could raise the dead.
[Chorus]
Old black bird won?t you sing my song while they take my soul away
I hear the devil calling out howling, St. Peter just sealed my fate
D
I once had a lover but I caught her with another now she don?t come around no more
A G D
Oh Black bird won?t you sing my song while I wait on the killing
A
floor.
Oh send her to hell
Gonna take me swimming in my heavy boots so I can breathe her pretty dark blue
Just let me sink in my Mississippi so I can forget about you.
[Chorus]
Old black bird won?t you sing my song while they take my soul away
I hear the devil calling out howling, St. Peter just sealed my fate
D
I once had a lover but I caught her with another now she don?t come around no more
A G D
Oh Black bird won?t you sing my song while I wait on the killing
A
floor.
G D A
While I wait, While I wait, on the killing floor.
