i'm thieving pirates
out of gold that they stole from the queen
stole from a man
whose favorite hand
is one that he will always land
well, i'm building this levee
by the mississippi
before i die in an unmarked grave
well, i don't know how else to say it
in a different way
why don't you just fade away
'cause there's a battle going on
down south of babylon
so why don't you just fade away
yeah, i don't know how else to say it
in a different way
but why don't you just fade away
'cause there's a battle going on
down south of babylon
so why don't you just fade away
