God’s A-Working, Man Lyrics – Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires
Singer: Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires
Title: God’s A-Working, Man
Captives cry freedom
From a crucifix of sheds
The state calls Corrections
Between Lock 17 and Toadvine
Where the bank and the landlords
Stole my great-granddaddy’s days
Where the Lord taught him to read
Scripture by the coal-oil light
Joy Harjo reads between the
Tobesofkee and her folks’ mounds
An eagle, a song, her mama’s old biscuit pan
A boy murmurs in the mic
Has a briarpatch saved her life?
Like, when his mama got strung out, and his
Grandparents took him by his little shaking hands
Old broken things to fix
A riled-up, wild-eyed band
Piles of winding storiеs
A sanctified, beaten-down land
Thе longer I’ve been living
It seems like the less I understand
But every morning I hit my knees
And thank God my God’s a-working, man
I thank God that He came down here
To get to working, man
Sweet sad old Gulf
Saltwater licking at my wounds
I drank deep of my failure
Heard my mama curse the day I was born
The sun pierced my lids
Great-Granddaddy touched this water
The only time he left Alabama
Mimi and Granddaddy singing and waving from the shore
Old broken things to fix
A riled-up, wild-eyed band
Piles of winding stories
A sanctified, beaten-down land
The longer I’ve been living
It seems like the less I understand
But every morning I hit my knees
And thank God my God’s a-working, man
I thank God that They came down here
To get to working, man
I searched Talladega’s ruined mills
For the spirit of the strike
Its soft hills for the Red Stick warsongs
Amistad blazed on the Ritz Theater marquee
Dark air. College kids. Town elders
Blue light. Flashing blades. Broken chains
Sengpe calls to the ancestors through
The ancient speakers and the dim screen
Old broken things to fix
A riled-up, wild-eyed band
Piles of winding stories
A sanctified, beaten-down land
The longer I’ve been living
It seems like the less I understand
But every morning I hit my knees
And thank God my God’s a-working, man
I thank God that They came down here
To get to working, man
In the coal-dusted holler
Of her barefoot starvation youth
Some church-shadowed stones
Cried out my Grandmama’s name
A lady fixing flowers
Eyes flashing at me that we’re kin
She weaves lives through the
Grave-rows, old-time falling like rain
Old broken things to fix
A riled-up, wild-eyed band
Piles of winding stories
A sanctified, beaten-down land
The longer I’ve been living
It seems like the less I understand
But every morning I hit my knees
And thank God my God’s a-working, man
I thank God that She came down here
To get to working, man
I squatted at his feet
Did he preach to the Union, black and white
Before they shut down the
Jasper streets or the Corona mine?
Clouds spread across the land
Led me down to the Lock 17 Dam
The Black Warrior sang its song
An eagle opened up like a blackbound book in the sky
Old broken things to fix
A riled-up, wild-eyed band
Piles of winding stories
A sanctified, beaten-down land
The longer I’ve been living
It seems like the less I understand
But every morning I hit my knees
And thank God my God’s a-working, man
I thank God that You came down here
To get to working, man
Did they tell you
He could frame out a house?
Did they tell you
He could clean a mess of fish?
Did they tell you
He had love for the working girls?
Did they tell you
He told the rich man to go and cut a switch?

God’s A-Working, Man – Terjemahan / Translation
Tawanan menangis kebebasan
Dari salib gudang
Negara memanggil koreksi
Antara kunci 17 dan toAdvine
Dimana bank dan tuan tanah
Mencuri hari-hari cicit saya
Di mana Tuhan mengajarinya untuk membaca
Kitab Suci oleh lampu minyak batu bara
Joy Harjo membaca antara
Tobesofkee dan gundukan orang tuanya
Eagle, sebuah lagu, wajan biskuit lama mama -nya
Seorang anak laki -laki bergumam di mikrofon
Apakah briarpatch menyelamatkan hidupnya?
Seperti, ketika ibunya dirangkai, dan miliknya
Kakek -nenek membawanya dengan tangan kecilnya yang gemetar
Hal -hal tua yang rusak untuk diperbaiki
Band yang gusut dan bermata liar
Tumpukan stori
Tanah yang disucikan dan dipukuli
Lebih lama saya hidup
Sepertinya semakin sedikit saya mengerti
Tapi setiap pagi saya menabrak lutut
Dan terima kasih Tuhan, A God’s A-Meashing, Manusia
Saya berterima kasih kepada Tuhan bahwa dia datang ke sini
Untuk bekerja, kawan
Teluk tua yang manis manis
Air asin menjilati lukanku
Saya minum jauh dari kegagalan saya
Mendengar mama saya mengutuk hari saya lahir
Matahari menusuk kelopak saya
Cucu buyut menyentuh air ini
Satu -satunya waktu dia meninggalkan Alabama
Mimi dan kakek bernyanyi dan melambai dari pantai
Hal -hal tua yang rusak untuk diperbaiki
Band yang gusut dan bermata liar
Tumpukan cerita berliku
Tanah yang disucikan dan dipukuli
Semakin lama saya hidup
Sepertinya semakin sedikit saya mengerti
Tapi setiap pagi saya menabrak lutut
Dan terima kasih Tuhan, A God’s A-Meashing, Manusia
Saya berterima kasih kepada Tuhan bahwa mereka datang ke sini
Untuk bekerja, kawan
Saya mencari pabrik Ruined Talladega
Untuk semangat pemogokan
Bukit lembutnya untuk tongkat merah Warsongs
Amistad berkobar di tenda Teater Ritz
Udara gelap. Anak -anak kuliah. Penatua Kota
Cahaya biru. Pisau berkedip. Rantai rusak
Sengpe memanggil nenek moyang
Speaker kuno dan layar redup
Hal -hal tua yang rusak untuk diperbaiki
Band yang gusut dan bermata liar
Tumpukan cerita berliku
Tanah yang disucikan dan dipukuli
Semakin lama saya hidup
Sepertinya semakin sedikit saya mengerti
Tapi setiap pagi saya menabrak lutut
Dan terima kasih Tuhan, A God’s A-Meashing, Manusia
Saya berterima kasih kepada Tuhan bahwa mereka datang ke sini
Untuk bekerja, kawan
Dalam teriakan batu bara
Tentang pemuda kelaparan bertelanjang kaki
Beberapa batu yang dibawa gereja
Menangis nama nenek saya
Seorang wanita memperbaiki bunga
Mata berkedip padaku bahwa kita kerabat
Dia menjalin hidup melalui
Baris kubur, zaman lama jatuh seperti hujan
Hal -hal tua yang rusak untuk diperbaiki
Band yang gusut dan bermata liar
Tumpukan cerita berliku
Tanah yang disucikan dan dipukuli
Semakin lama saya hidup
Sepertinya semakin sedikit saya mengerti
Tapi setiap pagi saya menabrak lutut
Dan terima kasih Tuhan, A God’s A-Meashing, Manusia
Saya berterima kasih kepada Tuhan bahwa dia datang ke sini
Untuk bekerja, kawan
Aku berjongkok di kakinya
Apakah dia berkhotbah kepada Union, hitam dan putih
Sebelum mereka menutup
Jalan Jasper atau Tambang Corona?
Awan menyebar di seluruh negeri
Membawa saya ke bendungan Lock 17
The Black Warrior menyanyikan lagunya
Seekor elang terbuka seperti buku hitam di langit
Hal -hal tua yang rusak untuk diperbaiki
Band yang gusut dan bermata liar
Tumpukan cerita berliku
Tanah yang disucikan dan dipukuli
Semakin lama saya hidup
Sepertinya semakin sedikit saya mengerti
Tapi setiap pagi saya menabrak lutut
Dan terima kasih Tuhan, A God’s A-Meashing, Manusia
Saya berterima kasih kepada Tuhan bahwa Anda datang ke sini
Untuk bekerja, kawan
Apakah mereka memberitahumu
Dia bisa membingkai rumah?
Apakah mereka memberitahumu
Dia bisa membersihkan kekacauan ikan?
Apakah mereka memberitahumu
Dia memiliki cinta untuk gadis -gadis yang bekerja?
Apakah mereka memberitahumu
Dia menyuruh orang kaya itu pergi dan memotong saklar?
