Jesus Chariot, She comes around the Mountain – lyrics, transcribed

Written by bnbrainer on 13 May 2012

next question would be to ask, what it has to do with: Birth of a Nation and Amos and Andy. To quote C-Man:

“interesting that he picked Birth of a Nation, a film as controversial today as it was then, if not even more so due to todays inexplicable tendencies to over PC eVerYthIng. Some works of the past are so socially offensive by todays standards that they have been suspended/censored from publicaton to the general public.. Amos and Andy being a perfect example. They were two black geniuses of humor but their work is nearly unknown today because the stereo typing of their characters is considered embarrassingly offensive to our racially sensitive culture despite the fact that much/most of their humor poked fun at those very stereo types.”

here some transcribed lyrics, and thanks to those who know it!

“So I spoke to my old friend Bruce and told him I was feeling it, his loss of Clarence. We talked for quite a while, and there is no need to go into what two old friends had to say to each other at this point, except to say that two old friends spoke to each other about their music, their muses, their partners in crime, their proof, their friendship, their souls and their lives. Ben Keith was my Clarence Clemons. Clarence Clemons was Bruce\'s Ben Keith. When he died last year it touched me to the core. I don\'t want to ever think of any one else playing his parts or occupying his space. No one could. I can\'t do those songs again unless it\'s solo. So I told Bruce, \"Waylon once looked at me and said, \'There\'s very few of us left.\'\" He liked that. I told him when he looked to his right I would be there. That\'s enough. I\'m not talking about that anymore.”
