When you take apart a secret you need a steady handOne eye upon the Maker, the other on your planPray while you move, while you gather up the plotYou can scout the trail of some men, and some you better notThe blue sky you seek might be muddy water deepMight be an old door locked for a reasonTake a ride little woman, let’s ride, ride, rideRide on down to banks of the riverStay by my side, you gotta stay by my sideI don’t know if the ferryman sees usI don’t know if he got me in his sightsFar as I know he’s a sittin’ there wonderin’If I be black or if I be whiteIt’s a damn shame, a crying shame, I know who I amI belong to the Maker, I’m the color of loveGiven to be livin’ in no man’s landWe’ve gone all the way to wherever we’re goin’As long as we stay in this placeLord knows it’s trueI’m a figurin’ what to doWe gotta get to Cal-i-for-ni-aWhile the getting is goodI can lumberjack till I break my backThen stay home, doing nothin’ but lovin’ on youIt’s a grand stand, grand plan, I know who I amI belong to the Maker, I’m the color of loveDreaming of a leaving this no man’s landIt’s a damn shame, a crying shame, I know who I amI belong to the Maker, I’m the color of loveGiven to be livin’ in no man’s landPut that gun down Jack watcha doing?I told you don’t come ‘round here no morePut that gun down Jack watcha doing?We been to see the Reverend, and tied the knotNow you don’t got – a leg to stand onLeave now, you better leave nowLeave now, better leave nowPut the gun down Jack watcha doing?Put the gun down Jack watcha doing?Stop in your tracks Jack, don’t you moveOr I’ll beat the living hell out of youIt’s a damn shame, a crying shame, I know who I amI'm a redbone man, with blood on his handsForever to be livin’ in no man’s landWalking through the valley of the shadow of deathWaiting on the the voice of the LordWalking through the valley of the shadow of deathWaiting on the the voice of the LordWalking through the valley of the shadow of deathWaiting on the the voice of the LordWalking through the valley of the shadow of deathWaiting on the the voice of the Lord
