John Fogerty - A Hundred And Ten In The Shade lyrics
rate meWay out there in the cotton<br />
Sun beatin' down so hard<br />
Sweat rollin' of this shovel<br />
Diggin' in the devil's boneyard<br />
Sure like a cool drink of water<br />
Soft rag to soothe my face<br />
Sure like a woman to talk to in this place<br />
<br />
It's a hundred and ten<br />
Hundred and ten in the shade<br />
Goin' way down<br />
Mama won't you carry me<br />
<br />
Handle so hot I can't stand it<br />
Might shrivel up and blow away<br />
Noonday sun make you crazy<br />
Least, that's what the old men say<br />
<br />
Bottom land hard as a gravestone<br />
Couldn't cut it with an axe<br />
Gonna lay me down right here<br />
And that's a fact<br />
<br />
It's a hundred and ten<br />
Hundred and ten in the shade<br />
Goin' way down<br />
Mama won't you carry me<br />
<br />
Sometimes late in the evenin'<br />
Everything is quiet and still<br />
I set here and think about leavin'<br />
Lord, I guess I never will<br />
Heartache down in that city<br />
Bright light scares me anyway<br />
Sure like a woman to talk in this place<br />
<br />
It's a hundred and ten<br />
Hundred and ten in the shade<br />
Goin' way down<br />
Mama won't you carry me
