Big Canal Lyrics

Up on the bank, of the Big Canal
Watch the water roll by, all by myself
The only sound when the hot wind blows
Is a tracking rattling in the wind like a box of bones
Roll water roll, deep and slow
She was mine for a little while, but I let her go
I can watch the road from where I sit
Scratching pictures in the dirt with a pointed stick
Like a rabbit run, like a Bobwhite fly
Like a blackbird drawing circles in the sky
Roll water roll, clean and deep
She was mine for a little while, now she’s yours to keep
Roll water roll, clean and deep
She was mine for a little while, now she’s yours to keep
