Kindly Turn the Bed Down, Drusilla

Kindly turn the bed down, Drusilla
I'll be home shortly
I left the heavens for them country taverns
Playing this ol' devil's box
She can read them shape notes
And sing like a yellowhammer
But she don't go in for no foolishness
In these long years of want

I make my wage on the road, good lord
42 and living out of my van
I make my wage on the road, good lord
A mortal man's work is sun to sun
Oh, but mine it ain't never done

On the low end of the country
Way down the mouth of the Red
Riding the high of a good payday
Walk me back, Little Rock, walk me back

I make my wage on the road, good lord
42 and living out of my van
I make my wage on the road, good lord
A mortal man's work is sun to sun
Oh, but mine it ain't never done

Kindly turn the bed down, Drusilla
I'll be home shortly
I left the heavens for them country taverns
Playing this ol' devil's box
I left the heavens for them country taverns
Playing this ol' devil's box
