North Mississippi Allstars
Rabbit Foot
[Chorus]
Got a rabbit's foot in my pocket
Got a crawfish in my shoe
Got a bullfrog sittin' on my shoulder
Lookin' dead, he lookin' dead at you
[Verse 1]
Don't spell my name on a stone
Give me an unmarked grave and a box of bones
When my spirit's free to roam
Give me an unmarked grave and a box of bones
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Look in my face
Have pity on my case
Give my poor heart
A final resting place
West of Alabama, south of Tennessee
East of Arkansas, where they bury me (Bury me)
[Verse 2]
Don't write my name (Don't write my name) on a stone (On a stone)
Give me an unmarked grave and a box of bones
Once I claim my seat on the starry throne
Give me an unmarked grave and a box of bones
[Bridge]
Our father's spirit
Resonates with legacy
He roams the woods
And he paints the trees (Paints the trees, paints the trees)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Got a rabbit's foot in my pocket
Got a crawfish in my shoe
Got a bullfrog sittin' on my shoulder
Lookin' dead, he lookin' dead at you
