- NICK CAVE - Knockin’ On Joe Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- These chains of sorrow, they are heavy, it is true
- And these locks cannot be broken,
- no, not with one thousand keys
- O Jailer, you drag a ball-n-chain you cannot see
- You can lay your burden on me
- You can lay your burden down on me
- You can lay your burden down upon me
- But you cannot lay down your memory
- Woooo wooo wooo
- Woooo wooo wooo
- Here I go!
- Knockin on Joe!
- This square foot of sky will be mine til I die
- Knocking on Joe
- Woooo wooo wooo
- All down the row
- Knockin on Joe
- O Warden I surrender to you
- Your fists can't hurt me anymore
- You know, these hands will never mop
- your dirty Death Row floors
- O Preacher, come closer, you don't scare me anymore
- Just tell Nancy not to come here
- Just tell her not to come here anymore
- Tell Nancy not to come
- And let me die in the memory of those arms
- O woo woo woo
- Woo woo woo
- All down the row
- Knockin on Joe
- O you kings of halls and ends of halls
- You will die within these walls
- And I'll go, down the row
- Knockin on Joe
- O Nancy's body is a coffin,
- she wears my tombstone at her head
- O Nancy's body is a coffin,
- she wears my tombstone at her head
- She wears her body like a coffin
- She wears a dress of gold and red
- She wears a dress of gold and red
- She wears a dress of red and gold
- Grave-looters at my coffin
- before my body's even cold
- It's a door for when I go
- Knockin on Joe
- These hands will never mop
- your dirty Death Row floors
- No! You can hide! You can run!
- O but your trial is yet to come
- O you can run! You can hide!
- But you have yet to be tried!
- You can lay your burdens down here
- You can lay your burden down
- Knockin on Joe
- You can lay your burden upon me
- You can lay your burden upon me
- Knockin on Joe
- You can lay it down here
- You can bring your burden down
- Knockin on Joe
- You can't hurt me anymore
- You can't hurt me anymore
- Knockin on Joe
- (ad lib)
