Sonia Dada – Diggin’ On A Road lyrics

DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
ONE MAN GATHERS WHAT ANOTHER MAN CANNOT HOLD
ROW
IT'S SO FAR ACROSS THE WATER
’CAUSE I LOVE THE HANGMAN'S DAUGHTER
BUT I CANNOT TELL HER SO

THEY HUNG A MAN IN THE CITY SQUARE
ALL THE FINEST FOLKS WERE THERE TO SEE
SITTING SIDELINES BY THE GALLOWS
THE DAUGHTER OF THE HANGMAN
PRETTIEST GIRL THERE COULD EVER BE
WHEN WE START TO FLIRT
HER OLD MAN DOES THE DIRTY WORK
NOW I'M DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD

DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
ONE MAN GATHERS WHAT ANOTHER MAN CANNOT HOLD
ROW
IT'S SO FAR ACROSS THE WATER
’CAUSE I LOVE THE HANGMAN'S DAUGHTER
BUT I CANNOT TELL HER SO

GUILTY OF STUPIDITY
CONVICTED IN THE FIRST DEGREE
I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE JUST LOOKED AWAY
THE EXECUTIONER WAS NOT BROUGHT IN
BEING DUMB AIN'T A MORTAL SIN
THE GOVERNOR ISSUED A STAY
SO THE ROPE WON'T SWING
AND THE HANGMAN DON'T GET TO DO HIS THING

DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
ONE MAN GATHERS WHAT ANOTHER MAN CANNOT HOLD
ROW
IT'S SO FAR ACROSS THE WATER
’CAUSE I LOVE THE HANGMAN'S DAUGHTER
BUT I CANNOT TELL HER SO

ROW
OH THE SUN DON'T BOTHER ME
ROW
NO THE SUN DON'T BOTHER ME
DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
LISTEN TO ME SING IT NOW
HER OLD MAN HE WANT TO SEE ME SWINGING

NOW THE PRETTIEST GIRL THAT I EVER SEEN
SHE'S LIVIN' ON A STREET IN NEW ORLEANS
AND THE PRETTIEST GIRL THAT I EVER KNOWN
LIVIN' ON THE WEST SIDE OF CHICAGO

NOW THE PRETTIEST GIRL THAT I LIKE THE BEST
SHE MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THE REST
JUST ONE SMILE AND THE SUN DON'T SET
NOW HER OLD MAN HE WANNA SEE ME SWEATIN’
DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
DIGGIN’ ON A ROAD
ONE MAN GATHERS WHAT ANOTHER MAN CANNOT HOLD
ROW
IT'S SO FAR ACROSS THE WATER
’CAUSE I LOVE THE HANGMAN'S DAUGHTER
BUT I CANNOT TELL HER SO
