Israel Nash Rexanimarum song lyrics

I was headed to the show

Goin' uptown to the Apollo

Get 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 on 125th Street, and I said,

"Well sing it loud. I'm black and proud."

Oh, my baby, settle in

Take your worries and put fire to them

Pour me out just like sour wine

Got the money if you got the time

I was talkin' 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 changin' courses

We can live out on the Montana range -

It's a great place to raise the kids

Oh, my baby, settle in

Take your worries and put fire to them

Pour me out just like sour wine

Got the money so you'll be all right

Oh, my baby, settle right on in

Take your worries and put fire to them

Pour me out just like sour wine

I Got the money if you 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 got the money so you'll - you'll be all right

You're gonna' be just fine
