                                        Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds -  Knockin` On Joe слова песни 
                                    
                                    
                             
                            
                            
                                
     
 
                                                                     
These chains of sorrow, they are heavy, it is true 
And these locks cannot be broken, 
no, not with one thousand keys 
O Jailer, you drag a ball-n-chain you cannot see 
You can lay your burden on me 
You can lay your burden down on me 
You can lay your burden down upon me 
But you cannot lay down your memory 
 
 
Woooo wooo wooo 
Woooo wooo wooo 
Here I go! 
Knockin on Joe! 
This square foot of sky will be mine til I die 
Knocking on Joe 
Woooo wooo wooo 
All down the row 
Knockin on Joe 
 
 
O Warden I surrender to you 
Your fists can`t hurt me anymore 
You know, these hands will never mop 
your dirty Death Row floors 
O Preacher, come closer, you don`t scare me anymore 
Just tell Nancy not to come here 
Just tell her not to come here anymore 
Tell Nancy not to come 
And let me die in the memory of those arms 
 
 
O woo woo woo 
Woo woo woo 
All down the row 
Knockin on Joe 
O you kings of halls and ends of halls 
You will die within these walls 
And I`ll go, down the row 
Knockin on Joe 
 
 
O Nancy`s body is a coffin, 
she wears my tombstone at her head 
O Nancy`s body is a coffin, 
she wears my tombstone at her head 
She wears her body like a coffin 
She wears a dress of gold and red 
She wears a dress of gold and red 
She wears a dress of red and gold 
Grave-looters at my coffin 
before my body`s even cold 
 
 
It`s a door for when I go 
Knockin on Joe 
These hands will never mop 
your dirty Death Row floors 
No! You can hide! You can run! 
O but your trial is yet to come 
O you can run! You can hide! 
But you have yet to be tried! 
You can lay your burdens down here 
You can lay your burden down 
Knockin on Joe 
You can lay your burden upon me 
You can lay your burden upon me 
Knockin on Joe 
You can lay it down here 
You can bring your burden down 
Knockin on Joe 
You can`t hurt me anymore 
You can`t hurt me anymore 
Knockin on Joe
