Stoney End

Grazie Papa! Listen, I couldn't decide which song to sing next... So .. Wait... no, no, no, it's not as free as that, I have a choice of two, and I'll see... I'll see which one you like best. Wait... wait... wait a minute, let's do it fair. It's between "Stoney End" and "Second Hand Rose". Wait, wait, wait!!! That's too easy, now we've gotta make a choice! Wait, wait wait! Let me do with you, right: "Second Hand Rose"' "Stoney End" Ah... Listen, I just gotta warn ya that "Stoney End" I haven't sung for about two years, and so I have the words written on the floor. So if you see me looking on the floor... it's the words! I'll try not to look, but I mean I haven't sung it for a long time... okay... ready, get set, go! Is this "'Stoney End"! Come on! I was born from love And my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book Jesus Till I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the whole morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go Down the stoney end Mama let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again I can still remember him With love light in his eyes But the light flickered out And parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the whole morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go Down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Never mind the forecast Cause the sky has lost control Cause the fury and the broken thunders Come to match my ragin' soul And I want... I want... I want to see the whole morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go Down the stoney end Mamma let me start all over Cradle me, Mamma, cradle me again Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go... Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go... Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go...
