when i finally settle down and move upstairs
i believe that i will find my friends up there
they will take me by the hand and tell me
“boy you’re looking well”
when i finally settle down and move upstairs
when i leave this all behind to take my rest
i will say that i have something to confess
i have sinned and i’m a sinner
and oh it was so fine!
when i leave this all behind to take my rest
running around hitting the town
money fell like rain
me and all my friends
i’d do it all over again
when they come to put the pennies on my eyes
i will do my very best to act surprised
but i’m ready lord so take me
please take me as i am
when they come to put the pennies on my eyes
running around hitting the town
money fell like rain
everybody we know
but now it’s time to go
when i finally settle down and move upstairs
i will find my things laid out for me with care
won’t you shine my favorite shoes
hand me down my cane
when i finally settle down and move upstairs

and now my tired eyes are open
i’m going down the road to see my lord
when he takes me by the hand i’ll be hoping
gonna take me over to that beautiful shore
i can see my people gathered round me
together like so many times before
and they know i'm so happy since he found me
gonna see me over to that beautiful shore
i was lost i was so far away
look like there was nothing i could do
but they’re making me a home
and i’m going there today
with all my angels and my devils too
so if you be weeping and a wailing
don’t come around darkening my door
only know that i'm on his ship a sailing
going to take me over to that beautiful shore
hallelujah hallelujah
i am going home to stay
hallelujah hallelujah
i am leaving here today

I first remembering hearing you sing a solo song accompanying yourself a few years ago on your guitar , I think at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, in a set with Paul Sanchez I, right then, became a fan. You seemed to bring out the soul of each note and strum, of your guitar. Your voice also seemed to come from a deep connection to every heartbreak and dream of all your fellow human sojourners. Thank you. Glad I now have this road songs album to listen to!

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson
supported by 5 fans who also own “Hit It!”
There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit.
