Alabama 3 - Shake A Tailfeather
текст песни

The Killer met the King in 1973
in a shotgun shack in southern Tennessee
Jerry said to Elvis, ‘I've a-come for the crown’
The King said to Jerry, ‘Yo,
Shake a tailfeather, brother, now
Come on, follow me down.
They locked the Gates of Eden
But we got a paradise now.’

Mahalia met Millie in a barroom down in Philly
Laid a whiskey on her Bible, said, ‘I'm seeking some truth’
Mahalia said, ‘I'm liable to be in need of some revival’
Millie smiled at Mahalia, said, ‘Yo,
Shake a tailfeather, sister, now
Come on, follow me down.
They locked the Gates of Eden
But we got a paradise now.’

Well, my name is D. Wayne, you all know me
I shot mah daddy down in 1963
Well, they put me in the pen for 25 years
And when I came out I didn’t have no fear.

D. Wayne met the Devil and they argued 'bout the level
of prescription necessary for just lettin' it blow
So the Devil carried D. Wayne 'cross the rivers and the high plains
Laid him out in the shade, said, ‘Yo,
Shake a tailfeather, brother
Come on, follow me down
You locked the Gates of Eden
But we got paradise now.’
