Another Heavy Toll

// Another Heavy Toll // Lyrics © 2024 Joshua Sloan // Kindness Matters Music Productions [Verse 1] Woke up this mornin' Down, by the muddy creek Yeah I woke up this mornin' Down by the muddy creek Lord, my woman done left me Now there's nothin' left for me [Chorus] I got them deep down delta blues Runnin' through my soul Each and every step, I take without her Takes another heavy, heavy toll [Verse 2] Walked past the juke joint Where we used to dance all night Now I'm just a shadow of a man In these streets of black and white Preacher man told me "Son, you got to let her go" But these chains of love around me They just keep draggin' me down low [Chorus] I got them deep down delta blues Runnin' through my soul Each and every step, I take without her Takes another heavy, heavy toll [Verse 4] Got a bottle of whiskey And her picture by my bed Lord a bottle of whiskey And a picture by my bed But can't drink away the memories They just echo in my head [Chorus] I got them deep down delta blues Runnin' through my soul Each and every step, I take without her Takes another heavy, heavy toll [Final Verse] You know sometimes at midnight When the world gets mighty still I can still hear her voice a-callin' From way beyond that hill The sun tomorrow might rise But without my baby beside me I'm just wastin' precious time [Final Chorus] I got them deep down delta blues Runnin' through my soul Each and every step, I take without my baby Takes another heavy, heavy toll [Outro] Aint no peace at all for me Lord Till my baby comes back home... Lord, till she...comes back home... [End] ---
