SHAKE THIS TOWN

(Robbie Robertson)
I see the people standing on the shore.
I see the big chief standing on the shore.
I ask my mama what they're crying for.

I saw a black cloud hanging in the sky.
I saw a big black cloud hanging in the sky.
I ask my papa when will it roll by.

Oh we're standing on the edge of the world.
Oh we're standing out here,
on the edge of the world.

Come on brother we gonna shake this town.
Come on sister (sister, sister) we gonna shake this town.
Come on children (Children come on) we gonna shake this town.
Down to the ground.

Can't draw no water no more,
from the drinking well.
Can't grow no corn no more out here on my land.
We're at the mercy of the government man.

Then I followed you followed you we did pray.
How can you promise me promise me
come what may.
Where you gonna turn to on a judgement day?

Oh we're standing (we're standing) on the edge of the world.
Oh we're standing (standing) out here.
On the edge of the world.

Come on brother (come on brother), we gonna shake this town.
Come on sister (sister, sister), we gonna shake this town.
Come on children (children come on), we gonna shake this town
Come on brother, we gonna shake this town

Come on sister, sister, sister, we gonna shake this town

Come on children, children come on, we gonna shake this town

Down to the ground.
We're standing (we're standing) on the edge of the world.

We're standing (we're standing) on the edge of the world.

Uaa

Uaa

Uaa, Uaa

That's the story.

That's the story.

That's the story.

That's the story.

Come on brother we gonna shake this town.
Come on sister we gonna shake this town.
Come on children we gonna shake this town.

Come on brother we gonna shake this town.
Come on sister we gonna shake this town.
Come on children we gonna shake this town.
