Rexanimarum - Israel Nash

I was headin' to the show

Goin' uptown, to the Apollo

And catch me a glimpse of ol' Jimmy Brown

Someone told me that he had just died

I lowered my head and I started to cry

Stood up on 125th Street and I said

«Well, sing it loud, *I'm Black and Proud*»

Oh my baby, let’s settle in

Take your worries and put fire to them

Pour me out just like sour wine

I’ve got the money if you got the time

I was talking to Truck Stop Betty

She was wringin' her hands and they was awfully sweaty

She said her mother died in Brooklyn just yesterday

Well, I said, «Betty, just hold your horses

Soon they’re gonna be changing courses

We can live out on a Montana range

And it’s a great place to raise the kids

Oh my baby, let’s settle in

Take your worries and put fire to them

Pour me out just like sour wine

I’ve got the money so you’ll be alright

Oh my baby, settle right on in

Take your worries and put fire to them

Pour me out just like sour wine

I’ve got the money if you’ve got the time

Oh my baby, settle right on in

Take your worries and put fire to them

Pour me out just like sour wine

I’ve got the money so you’ll be alright

You’re gonna be just fine
