lyrics

Old gal she been fixin' to cry
She got a crack in her heel, got a foot in her eye
She says, "I'm crowded, oh Lord"
Old gal she been waitin' to die
Just a-sittin' around, and the plains go dry
"I'm crowded, oh Lord"

Old man has that shufflin' beat
He been tumblin' down the side (of) the street
He says, "I'm crowded, oh Lord"
Old man he got nothin' to eat
He still clappin' his hands—his hands, the feet
He says, "I'm crowded, oh Lord"

I'm crowded, move over
I'm crowded, move over
Move over!

My hometown burned away
Here tomorrow, gone today,
(I) said, "I'm crowded, oh Lord"
My hometown was burnin' red
And dreams of Eden leave my head,
said, "I'm crowded, oh Lord"

Hurry on, they'll rob you of day
Hurry on, they'll take you away
Hurry on, they'll drive you astray
Hurry on, to comfort and say
Okay

You came here with death in your head
I listened no more to the things you said,
said, "I'm crowded, oh Lord"
You came here, my dyin' bed
The lights are bright and the night was dead,
said, "I'm crowded, oh Lord"
