Buzzard Song versuri

Buzzard Song lyrics by Ray Charles, Cleo Laine

Intro
Look out, there’s a buzzard

Verse 1
Buzzard, keep on flyin’ over
Take along your shadow
It ain’t nobody dead this mornin’
Livin’s just begun
Two is strong where one is feeble
Man and woman livin’, workin’
Sharin’ grief and sharin’ laughter
And love like August sun

Bridge
Trouble
Is that you over yonder lookin’ lean and hungry?
Don’t you let that buzzard keep you hangin’ round my door
Ain’t you heard the news this mornin’?
Step out, brother, hit the gravel
Porgy who you used to feed on
Don’t live here no more
Ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Buzzard, on your way!

Verse 2
Old age, what are you anyhow?
Nothin’ but bein’ lonely
Why don’t you, uh, pack your things and fly from here?
Carry grief and pain
There’s two folks livin’ in this shelter
Eatin’ and sleepin’, singin’, prayin’
Ain’t no such thing as lonеliness
And Porgy’s young again

Outro
Look out, you buzzard
