MY CREW
(Priscilla Jones / Booker T. Jones)


Rita Coolidge - 1972



Can I sing a song for you
My crew
Like the song I used to play
With you

I was gone so long before you missed me
I didn't even know I was a gypsy
I'm singing this song because my eyes are misty
Because we're through (We're through, we're through)
My crew

There's that cross we'll cross again
My friends
And the song that we will play
Will have no end

We'll sail a sea of song like a band of gypsies
We'll lay our burdens down and play for free
Laugh and cry as eagles die
And we'll be coming home one day (One day, one day)
Let the music play, yeah

Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mmmm
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm-mmmm

We'll sail a sea of song like a band of gypsies
We'll lay our burdens down and play for free
Laugh and cry as eagles die
And we'll be coming home one day (One day, one day)
Let the music play

Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm, my crew
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mmm-mmmm
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm, my crew
Mmm-mmm ............ FADE
