Ray Wylie Hubbard - Black Wings lyrics

Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Believin' what you leave behind is burnt up junk debris And ever last undying soul resides at a hotel in Saint Marie Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Shimmerin' like a Leslie and a Hammond B3 Or a shaking tambourine at a gospel jubilee Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Jangling and a-changling all the way to Tennessee Trusting in a Duo Jet and a 9 volt battery Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Strummin' on a Stella guitar and singin' 'Deportee' That ain't much of a repertoire, oh, no, Siree Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be You're never gonna reach the sun or the Sunset Marquis You'll die like a saint on high alongside gamblers and thieves Fly away on them old wings, black as they may be Black as they may be
