Eve

[Verse 1] A long, long time ago In a little Texas town Eve made her way to the field below To have a look around, girls, to have a look around Down, down Eve did go Further in the fields When she heard a voice singing sweet and low "Dig in with your heels, girl, dig in with your heels" Eyes wide, heart inside Like a gavel comin’ down All around her brain was the sweet refrain "Keep following the sound, girl, keep following the sound" [Chorus] They’ll try to take you for a ride And they’ll muddy all the good you’ve got inside And they’ll twist your heart until it’s black and blue But don’t let ‘em keep you down, girl Don’t let ‘em keep you down (ooh-ooh-ooh...) [Verse 2] Miles, miles Eve did go When at last she came upon The source of the sound in the watery ground And the night was coming on, girls, the night was coming on Through the wilderness and the cypress trees And the night birds all around She made her way to the river’s edge And her mother there she found, girls, her mother there she found Eyes wide, heart inside Like a gavel comin’ down When her mother said, "come and rest your head And I’ll tell you what I’ve found, girl, I’ll tell you what I’ve found" [Chorus] They’ll try to take you for a ride And they’ll muddy all the good you’ve got inside And they’ll twist your heart until it’s black and blue But don’t let ‘em keep you down girl Don’t let ‘em keep you down (ooh-ooh-ooh...)
