Ol' Man Jess
Ol' Man Jess
~ Lessons from the Gullah Isles
Tis the Devil's heat today
"Junior, come ya boy"
He needs cigarettes
I'm thirsty
So.
He spits at the ground
His aim near me
"If it dries
before you're
back ..."
I'd
Get switched.
Drink my sweat
Two packs of Camels
He had determined my worth
Stroke
Gospel hymns
When he died
But I only laughed
Make the devil run now
