lyrics

EMMA RUMBLE

Emma Rumble Emma Rumble
Your black hair's hanging low
Your naked arms are glistening
And frozen from the snow
Emma Rumble Emma tell me
For if you don't let me know
My heart's already taken
So tomorrow I will go
Emma gladly I'll stay with thee
Only if just for tonight
I will read the lines between your palms
Just move into the light
And let it bathe you let me know you
You who have been so confined
By the beauty that you suffer's
Why your hair is growing white
Your hair is growing white

Emma Rumble Emma Rumble
Why do you stir in such distress?
Late in the evening you were sleeping
You were dreaming I should guess
Do not touch me do not hold me
You cried it was useless
And implied to me through wild eyes
Those things you can't confess
Emma sadly I must leave thee
As my true love waits alone
On the porch step in the moonlight
She looks out and through the cold
If I kiss you I must kill you
You told me in gentle tones
Emma Rumble do not wait for me
I'll see you down the road

In my hometown the sheriff found
My true love in the snow
Her body lay beaten there
And covered in your clothes
Emma Rumble Emma Rumble
I cry as my shotgun loads
The night is hot and heavy now
And I'm walking down the road
I'm walking down the road

about

Graham Lindsey montana

Known for the dark, raw, stripped-down approach he takes to American roots and folk, Graham Lindsey's music has been said to fall somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and 'if Gillian Welch had a male counterpart,' while following in the traditions of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. But, it does so with plenty of his own punk rock sensibilities in tact.
