[01:06.32]Coming down the mountain
[01:09.03]Distributing the corn
[01:12.16]Speeding through the forest
[01:15.14]Racing down the track

[02:40.90]I ain't afraid to make love
[02:43.72]To a bitch or a hag
[02:46.77]If you see me comin'
[02:50.56]And you're standing there
[02:53.59]Wave your handkerchief
[02:56.48]In the air

[03:02.25]Ma Bell still rings
[03:05.32]I keep my fingers crossed
[03:07.54]Like them early roman kings

[03:54.78]Like the early roman kings
[03:57.51]
[04:09.90]I was up on black mountain
[04:12.27]The day Detroit fell
