Lyrics for Lightnin' Hopkins

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh When I lay myself to sleep Pray that I don't go too deep Lightning won, lightning won Because it's cold down, gold down there, crow Flatlands, lowlands on the track Shows the water, pan the track Lightning won, lightning won Close up hands to silhouette, crow Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Lightning won Lightning won Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Hound bark on the track Hound crow hold onto your hat Lightning won, lightning won The lowlands, timberlands, badlands, birdlands Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
