I guess you didn't hear me when I told you for the first time
Well don't you worry, it won't be the last
All I need is a floorboard an' a wooden shoe
Step aside an' let my lady through
Hay foot, straw foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hay foot, straw foot
Up an' back around
See the high priest he took my place
When the judge looks to me he saw his son's face
Not gonna join you in your Tower of Babble, boy
Tired o' that talkin', I'm sick o' that noise
Hay foot, straw foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hay foot, straw foot
Coverin' ground
I'm not alone an' looks can be deceivin'
When we get down to it you're talkin' when you should be leavin'
I've been to Nebraska it reminded me of Spain
All the questions loaded all my answers same
Hay foot, straw foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hay foot, straw foot
Coverin' ground
Let us not mince our words, let's say it true this time
I need your forgiveness just like you need mine
Tell me how it is that you don't want what He's given
It ain't no sin son to be forgiven
Hay foot, straw foot
Low we lay 'em down
Hay foot, straw foot
All over town
