Plumb Line Lyrics

Let a wind mill blow
I want to feel the wave beat hard against me.
Let a wind mill blow
This dust out of my head.

Let a steeple ring
I want to hear the sound that's not me thinking
Let a steeple ring
This dirt out of my bed.

Strap on, shake it for a hoedown
beat down on a wooden drum.
Laugh hard till hard is gone
and that old trouble run.

Let a baby yell
Simple thing like a nail in a driveway
Let a baby yell
This dust out of my head.

Give an old man grumble
Wave the tag and bag the coat back.
Give an old man grumble
Sweep the dark away.

Lay a high boot heel
Swing that skirt from knee to elbow
Lay a high boot heel
And walk away.

Strap on, shake it for a hoedown
beat down on a wooden drum.
Laugh hard till hard is gone
and that old trouble run.

Take a rail car whine
Tuck it down behind the silver.
Take a rail car whine
A song as sure as I.
