Rhiannon Giddens - Come Love Come

COME LOVE COME (Rhiannon Giddens) Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard I know. Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee. When I was four, my loving mam Was cornered by the boss's man, She turned her head and got struck down, They buried her in the cold cold ground. Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard I know. Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee. When I was twelve, my father dear Was strong of arm and free of fear. Until the day he raised his hand, Then he was sold to Alabam'. Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard I know. Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee. I was sixteen, found my bloom And found my man, we jumped the broom. We pledged each other the rest of our lives And on Saturday nights we were man and wife. Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard I know. Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee. I was eighteen, bugles called The boys in blue came o'er the wall. I took my chance and followed free, They led the way to Tennessee. Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard I know. Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee. Here I sit in a tiny shack With thirteen others at my back. I've sent you word, so all I can do Is wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait... And wait for you. Come love come, the road lies low The way is long and hard I know. Come love come, the road lies free I'll wait for you in Tennessee. Oh, I'll wait for you I'll wait for you...
