lyrics

Black Hill
(Written by Erica Graf & Evan Whetter)

Here come's the train it's gonna take me far away
Here come's the train that took my father off of me
Here come's the train watch it comin' down the track
Here come's the train that's gonna someday bring me back

When I was a young boy I grew up on the plain
In the shadow of the Black Hill through drought and driving rain
Dady died too early, my mother took the load
Kept two kids off of the street the pain she never showed

Here come's the train it's gonna take me far away
Here come's the train that took my father off of me
Here come's the train watch it comin' down the track
Here come's the train that's gonna someday bring me back

When I was a young man 'bout the age of 21
Grandpa caught me in the back yard buryin' a gun
When he saw me shook his head and said "Don't say it son!"
I know you must have shot a man, I know what you have done

Here come's the train it's gonna take me far away
Here come's the train that took my father off of me
Here come's the train watch it comin' down the track
Here come's the train that's gonna someday bring me back

Watching out the open door I see the world go by
Freight train's rockin' rhythm beats a steady lullaby
This train is bound for freedom but a part of me will lie
Beneath the shadow of the Black Hill, my mother broke and cried

Here come's the train it's gonna take me far away
Here come's the train that took my father off of me
Here come's the train watch it comin' down the track
Here come's the train that's gonna someday bring me back

Think B.B. King sharing a scotch with Booker T at the crossroads after midnight. With more awards than you can poke a mojo hand at, what started as a hair-brained idea between friends medicating their way through jazz school over a bottle of red, has taken them on an adventure that spans the globe. A multitude of gongs suggest Lazy Eye deliver some of the best original blues Australia has to offer ... more
