Trampled Rose Lyrics by Carolina Chocolate Drops

Genuine Negro Jig

2010

[Dom Flemons]
Long way I'm going to get my medicine
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Lone piano from a window playin'
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday
Found it in the street, at first I could not see
Lying at my feet, a trampled rose
Passing the hat in church, never stops going 'round
You never pay just once to get the job done
What I done to you, I've done to me
So what happened to the trampled rose?
Out in the muddy streets, 'neath the fireworks and leaves
A blind man with a cup, I asked
If he could sing "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"
I know this rose like I know my name
The one I give my love, it was the same
And now I find it in the street, a trampled rose
