Balthazar’s Song
M.C. Taylor
Are you with me now
Working like a mule
I'm pulling slow
On a rainy black road
With a load I can barely feel
If you could come to me
You could take away my mind
You could fill me up
Like an empty cup
That would be fine
That would be fine
No turquoise jewelry, no
Don't bury me in silver
Don't bury me in gold
When I die, the earth as my bride
Give me a dark and shady home
Are you with me now
I'm working like a mule
Eventually I'll be set free
And that will be fine
That will be fine
