Come Take My Soul (Good Mama)

about

A song I wrote for a show that never got made. I suppose it died. But this song came to life because of it, and I still dig the tune. I had fun writing it. It's dark yet true. Stay away from the field if you ask me. There's more tools that can kill you there than there are in a graveyard. And of course, music will scare all those demons away.

lyrics

"Come Take My Soul (Good Mama)" by Brion Riborn (c) Etymbiotic Music [ASCAP]

my good mama told me
don't squander your time
forcing words to a rhythm
putting notes to a rhyme

keep your nose to the grindstone
keep your plow to the field
when the time comes for harvest
much fruit you will yield

but the reaper looms closer
to the field than the tomb
so i sit on this headstone
just a singing my tune

my good mama told me
don't you wander away
to sing in the graveyard
where the demons stay

find yourself a new home
where death's bells toll
pray he snatch you away
'fore you lose your soul

pray death snatch you away
lest you burn in hell
where the devil will make
claim on your soul and your body as well

oh devil come take my soul
oh devil come take my soul
oh devil come take my soul
oh devil come take my soul
