Rodney DeCroo Mockingbird lyrics

Down by the dirty water, I heard the mockingbird sing,
down by the dirty water, I heard the mockingbird sing,
he told me you were leaving, he told me everything.

Under that red sunset, I saw you standing there,
under that red sunset, I saw you standing there,
with your army of nine horses and your backwater stare.

That rooster he's a crowing, tear down the sky,
that rooster he's a crowing, tear down the sky,
oh my baby left me and I just want to die.

I cried out to your mountain, but your mountain didn't hear,
I cried out to your mountain, but your mountain didn't care,
when I woke up in the morning there was nobody there.


That fox he's a'praying, praying through the night,
that fox he's a'praying, praying through the night,
that fox he's a'praying brother, he's praying for the light.

The last time I touched you, you turned away,
the last time I touched you, you turned away,
my heart was so heavy and I could not say.

Down by the dirty I heard your mockingbird sing,
down by the dirty water I heard your mockingbird sing,
he told me you were leaving, he told me everything.
