Early Bird Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Cherokeeridge 

Cover art for Early Bird lyrics by Mark Knopfler

Just a lyrics correction: "And my long black Cadillac comin' for to carry me home..." not "forth." It's a reference to the old gospel song "Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home; Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home. I looked over Jordan and what did I see, Comin for to carry me home? A band of angels comin' after me, Comin' for to carry me home. Swing low...etc"
