lyrics

Sister Lucy

I’m waken up early one morning
The longest night and the shortest day
I’m waken up early one morning
I close my eyes but I’m wide awake

I’ve been dreamin’ about a gypsy caravan
Pulled me up by the roots
I’ve been dreamin’ about a better land
So I’m pulling on my boots

And Sister Lucy she’s got candles wrapped around her head
She came and scattered roses all around my bed
She fed me tea and biscuits and she sang to me once more
Oh now Sister Lucy won’t you light my way out this door

I’m walkin’ through the streets of Boston
With a ticket in my hand
My heart is beating like a base drum
And I am feeling oh so grand

Well I’m goin’ to California oh now don’t you cry
Well I’m goin’ to California say good-bye say good-bye
Yea I’m goin’ to California oh now don’t you cry
Yea I’m goin’ to California say good-bye good-bye say good-bye
