Old Crow Medicine Show

Old Crow Medicine Show - Levi lyrics

rate me

Born upon the blue ridge, at the Carolina line

Baptized on the banks of the new river

Brought upon blue grass and clear moon shine

And tough as iron but a heart soft as leather

Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down

10 000 miles from a southern town

Oh, Levi,

Like a fire on a mountain, running wild with no states

Playing nights on the glory horse shoe

And Indian raids

Now it’s parachutes and combat boots

They camouflaged they planes

And a country boy who don’t belong

In the desert anyways

Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down

10 000 miles from a southern town

Oh, Levi,

Well the sandbox sure gets lonesome

And it’s 109 degrees

Singing carry my back to Virginia

Lord I’m down here on my knees

In a market skrell while the bells were ringing

Loud to fill the air

Levi gazed his eyes out, to the rocket player

Be on the desert and the ocean

To the farthest fields on home

And when the bullets pierced his body

He was already gone

Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down

10 000 miles from a southern town

Oh, Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down

Oh, Levi, oh Levi.
