Whicha Way To Go

from How Long Is Now by James & Black

/

lyrics

He said I'll meet ya right down by the crossroads we'll see whicha way to go
Said we can't go north gun at my back
Can't go south dogs following my tracks
We'll head straight through the woods towards Uncle Jesse shack

Sunny blue skies in Indian Hill
Today the song of a mockingbird it gave me chills
I clean house everyday for Miss Sadie Jane
Mama said hard work it'll keep me sane
Hard hard work it'll keep me sane

Boss James came home in a raging huff
Bloody whip in his hand cowardly tough
Screaming in my face where's Big John
he ain't workin the field he ran away from the farm
2x I say run run run Big John

He said I'll meet ya right down by the crossroads we'll see whicha way to go
Said we can't go north gun at my back
Can't go south dogs following my tracks
We'll head straight through the woods towards Uncle Jesse shack

I knew right away what happened to him
Planned years ago day is finally here
He's running the road
Freedoms only way
2x Rather die today than live a slave

Runaway train roll down the track
Hound dogs a howlin posse on horseback
Sante Fe train head Mexico
We freedom bound stowed away in a hole
2x I said we freedom bound

2x He said I'll meet ya right down by the crossroads we'll see whicha way to go
Said we can't go north gun at my back
Can't go south dogs following my tracks
2x We'll head straight through the woods towards Uncle Jesse shack
