Neighborly


Song almost heard
seems down at the river
like a mornin' church choir.
Sent the hound out
to take a look 'round
he ain't got much to say.

Strollin with shotgun
case it's revenue boys
almost make out the words.
A peekin thru branches
whole herd at the water
all dressed in white.

Singin pure, olden slave songs
'bout a home up above
whilst some a gettin dunked.
They's a shine about em all
a smilin, a weepin an a singin
celebrating or so it seem.

Don't give no mind at all
when hound a joins right in
wavin welcoming hands.
Hearin preacher now
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
then dunkin em down.

Sittin at extry-long table
filled with ladies finest
must be a heavenly feast.
Shade a fallin gently
new neighbors findin God
right wheres we always did.

Riverbank cathedral
no meetin house so fine
heavenly Father in the details.
Church down at the river
hearts all fulla peace
we gets a singin again...

I think your way with words makes me want to go get baptized all over again.
