Reaper Comin’ Down

I wake up in the morning with the Furies in my head
Thunder in the bedroom and it’s raining on my bed
Winds are blowing heavy and the lightning strikes the floor
Don’t believe I’ll ever get a good night’s sleep no more

Feel the reaper comin’ down any day now
Feel the reaper comin’ down any day now
Come this time tomorrow, just may be underground

Spilled my coffee on the paper, the obituary page
Hope it was a misprint ‘cause I saw my name and age
Black cat crossed my driveway and I just don’t understand
Who put razors in the bathtub or this shotgun in my hand

Feel the reaper comin’ down any day now
Feel the reaper comin’ down any day now
Come this time tomorrow, just may be underground

There’s a rustling in my cellar, I see bloodstains on the floor
Witches standing in the back yard, I’m locking every door
Black crow on the window is tapping at the pane
I wish this was a nightmare, I wish I was insane

Feel the reaper comin’ down any day now
Feel the reaper comin’ down any day now
Come this time tomorrow, just may be underground
Come this time tomorrow, just may be underground
Come this time tomorrow, just may be underground

As they said on SNL about another Reaper song..... needs more Cowbell in the mix !

Seriously, a good bluesy, slide tune.

Rootsey, Baby! And nice job on the voc harmonies.

Man, I have had days that started like that..... great tune Mark. I really enjoyed it - love the slide and vocals.

Hey Mark, if you figure out how to bottle that songwriting stuff you have, I'll buy it by the case. I like that!
