John Hartford
Emanuel Cant
Oh shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't
And the sonnet was a piece upon the floor
It was in the falling rain
That you said you'd come again
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't
If you can't, say you cancel, Immanuel can't
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't
There's some truth inside that Immanuel Can't
And its there for you to crawl around and see
It will hang around your find
Like a millstone on your mind
Oh shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't
If you can't, say you cancel, Immanuel can
Just shake your head and smile, Immanuel Can't
