Powderfinger by Neil Young Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming the river, with a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail I think you'd better John 'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't to stay It's got numbers on the side and a gun, and it's making big waves 's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou So the powers be left here to do all the thinking And I just turned twenty-two I was wondering what to do And the closer they got, The more those feelings grew 's rifle in my hand felt reassuring He told , 'Red means run, , numbers to nothing' But when first shot the dock, I saw it coming Raised the rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why Then I saw black and my face flash in the sky Shelter from the powder and the finger Cover with the thought pulled the trigger Just think of as one you never figured, to fade away so young with so much left undone Remember me to my love I know I'll miss her Songwriters: Young, Neil Powderfinger lyrics © Silver Fiddle Music Ryszard |
