lyrics

Memory's disease
Like an open sore
Show you that old graveyard
Where Son House don't sing no more
Show you that old graveyard
Where Son House don't sing no more
Leanin' on his rock
Looking for a trace
An emptiness inside keeps sayin'
This must be the place

High on holy ground
Whisper by and by
Detroit ain't no place to live
But it's a fine place to die
Detroit ain't no place to live
But it's a fine place to die
Poured out half our gin
Said a silent prayer
But Jesus wasn't listenin'
And Son House wasn't there

C'mon Judgement Day
For my sins I'll pay
Devil go to Hell
I'll find death in my own way
Devil go to Hell
I'll find death in my own way
Finished off our gin
Said a drunken prayer
For a city's worn out memory
To a god who doesn't care
