Hellhound on My Trail Songtext
von Cassandra Wilson

I gotta keep movin′
Keep movin', the blues fallin′ down like hail
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Blues fallin' down like hail

Days keep on worryin' me
There′s a hellhound on my trail

Today was Christmas Eve
Tomorrow was Christmas Day
Today was Christmas Eve, today was Christmas Eve
Tomorrow was Christmas Day

All I need is my little sweet rider
To pass the time away


You sprinkled hot foot powder
All around my door
Sprinkled hot foot powder
All around your mama′s door

It'll keep me with ramblin′ mind, rider
Every old place I go, every old place I go

I can tell the wind is rising
The leaves tremblin' on the tree
I can tell the wind is rising
The leaves tremblin′, the leaves tremblin' on the tree

All I need′s my sweet daddy
To keep my company

I gotta keep movin'
Keep movin', blues fallin′ down like hail
Gotta keep movin′
Blues fallin' down like hail

Days keep worryin′ me
There's a hellhound, there′s a hellhound
On my trail
