lyrics

Six White Horses

i met yer mama in the holler
and she read me some scripture
i met yer papa in the draw
and he painted my picture
i met yer sister on the levee
and she gave me a quarter
i met yer brother on the nickel
and he gave me another

and i’ll take my fifty cents
and you know that i ain’t scared of ya
and i’ll walk that ribbon highway
to the old, weird, america

i met yer grandma at the ‘state sale
and she found my button
i met yer grandpa sittin’ down
we didn’t stand fer nuttin’
i met yer uncle at the crossbuck
but he weren’t no doctor
i met yer auntie on the belt line
and i asked for water

and i’ll take my drink of water
and you know that i ain’t scared of ya
and i’ll walk that ribbon highway
to the old, weird, america

and we’ll be comin’ down the mountain when we come
and we’ll be fishin’ in the fountain ‘til we’re done
we’ll be fishin’ in the fountain, it’s all over ‘cept the shoutin’
we’ll be comin’ down the mountain when we come

and we’ll be ridin’ six white horses
and you know that i ain’t scared of ya
and i’ll walk that ribbon highway
to the old, weird, america

The Westside Sheiks California

Taking as their spiritual forefolk the sounds of Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, The Mississippi Sheiks, and the quixotic melodics of The Old Weird America, The Westside Sheiks combine piano and national resophonic to create a cantankerously swinging sound that can bounce from the playfully percolating to the melodically maudlin, and from the raw and raggy to the gleefully grinding. ... more
