Lyrics for Amazing Grace / Til the Chicken
"I mean, I forgot my part, bro I'm sorry. Y'all gotta forgive me. I'm not used to having all these people around me While I'm playing something as sensitive as the blues" ("Oh, I don't think so") "Cool, let's do it one more time?" "Yeah." "You feel 'ight?" "Yeah, I do, I wanna do the-" "You got one more in your voice?" "We should do another one first. How's your church? Did you go to church? If the angels is gonna come in we should sing a song the angels know, George They don't know this song!" "The angels don't know this one, yeah." "No, what do you know?" "I don't know, 'Drums'? I'mma follow you" "Gimme 'Drums' on C" "Okay" Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now, I sure is found Was blind but now I see 'Twas grace, mother, that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did ever, yes, your grace, sweet grace appear The hour I first believed When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining, said, as his sun You say I know that grace, sweet grace has appeared And now she'll bring me home "This is our church, George. Ayy" So some say she got green enough field And some say she got too many strings With petticoats on, and goin' hall gown The sweetest nylon, no, not where she's gone Gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wings, yes Some she got plenty of stockings S-Some say she g-got some Divas and Kramer Why all this spare, then shakin' her tail The sweetest nylon, no, not where he's gone Gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wing Until the little chicken come home The sweetest nylon, no, not where he's gone I'm gonna raise his tail and wrangle his wings I said, the sweetest nylon, no, not where he's gone I'm gonna raise-uh his tail (raise it) and wrangle his wings Until the little chicken home Said, until the little chicken come home (pass out the chicken, yo)
