Gullah

While you were busy lighting roman candles on the yellowcake
They shook you on down.
When the rain start falling, boatman calling,
Got to Shake 'em on down.

The flood receding, the mountain appears
Send out the black bird, send out the dove
You babel rabble-rousers
In polyester trousers
Big bright cities
Ain't no doubt Vishnu missed you, then Kali kissed you.
Better get busy
Days get shorter, air gets colder,
Tune on into the N.O.A.A. radio
Scaling up the heights of folly.

While you were busy lighting roman candles on the yellowcake
They shook you on down.
When the rain start falling, boatman calling,
Got to Shake 'em on down (2x)
