Dream Song 40

77 Dream Songs (1964)

I’m scared a lonely. Never see my son,easy be not to see anyone,combers out to seaknow they’re goin somewhere but not me.Got a little poison, got a little gun,I’m scared a lonely.

I’m scared a only one thing, which is me,from othering I don’t take nothin, see,for any hound dog’s sake.But this is where I livin, where I rakemy leaves and cop my promise, this’ where wecry oursel’s awake.

Wishin was dyin but I gotta makeit all this way to that bed on these feetwhere peoples said to meet.Maybe but even if I see my sonforever never, get back on the take,free, black & forty-one.
