Down Baby Lyrics


Sound like I'm hearing moaning
Death bell ringing all in my head
Sound like I can hear moaning
Death bell ringing all in my headYeah, I know that I was gonna
Leave on a chariot but I didn't know
What kind of chariot gonna
Take me away from hereI want you to remember every living people
Every living people is bound to die
I want you to remember every living people
Every living people is bound to dieYeah, you know when that chariot come at you
They'll break running, try to hideYou know my mama told me
You know my papa told me too
You know my mama told me
Oh, papa told me tooHe said, "You know one day, son, that chariot
Oh Lord, coming after you"Yeah, you know the life I'm living
I've been living it for a many year
You know the life I'm living
I've been living it for a many yearI know the chariot was coming for me

But I didn't know what kind of chariot
Gonna take me away from here

Sam Hopkins was born on March 15, 1912 in Centerville, Texas. In 1920, at the age of eight, Hopkins met and played with the legendary Blind Lemon Jefferson, even becoming Jefferson's guide for a short time. Hopkins' cousin, the great bluesman, Texas Alexander, was another influence. Their musical partnership was broken up by Hopkins' time in Houston's County Prison Farm during the 1930s. When Hopkins made his way to Houston's Third Ward in 1946 he was introduced to Lola Anne Cullum, a talent scout who had pieced together deals with companies such as Aladdin Records out of Los Angeles.
