Lightnin’ Hopkins
Awful Dream
Have you ever looked over a mountain
One you ain't never seen?
Have you ever looked over a mountain
A mountain you ain't ever seen?
Have you ever laid down in your bed
And had one lonesome dream?

Sound like the world is comin' to an end
Somebody done passed and dropped a bomb, oh
You know they tell me this world is changing
And there's things that shouldn't come
Lord, have mercy

But I don't know, I don't know
God knows I don't
Teach me, 'cause I don't know

You know, the little bird was singing
It was cloudy
Look like it's gonna rain
You know that bird was singin'
That little bird, little bird, it looks like it's gonna rain
Look like everything that happened in my town
It's all in vain

Just one last time
Then maybe fail thee well
You can tell by the rain on the bell
I don't know where I'm going
If I'm going to Heaven or Hell
I don't know where I'm going
If I'm going to Heaven
Or Hell
