A Hundred And Ten In The Shade Composer(s): John Fogerty First release by: John Fogerty - 1997
Way out there in the cotton Sun beatin' down so hard Sweat rollin' of this shovel Diggin' in the devil's boneyard Sure like a cool drink of water Soft rag to soothe my face Sure like a woman to talk to in this place
It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me
Handle so hot I can't stand it Might shrivel up and blow away Noonday sun make you crazy Least, that's what the old men say
Bottom land hard as a gravestone Couldn't cut it with an axe Gonna lay me down right here And that's a fact
It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me
Sometimes late in the evenin' Everything is quiet and still I set here and think about leavin' Lord, I guess I never will Heartache down in that city Bright light scares me anyway Sure like a woman to talk in this place
It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me
