Don't Burn Down The Bridge

soundclip


by Jones / Wells
recording of July 1 1973, Jazz Festival Montreux, Switzerland

from Live at Montreux Blues at Sunrise (Stax or Fantasy 8546), copyright notice

(Spoken:
Now this tune is all about a girl that's got a good man
But she gonna leave him, to another, for another slick talkin' dude
But I advised her not to burn down the bridge
She might wanna come back)

One, two, three, four!

Your mind's set on leavin'
To a house down a one way street
Say you're gonna lock up all the doors
And throw away the key

Oh, but don't burn down the bridge, darlin'
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

Oh, you counted me out, before I could get to bat
All the things are out-ta the Chevrolet
Tomorrow night be drivin' a Cadillac

But don't burn down the bridge, darlin'
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

Hey!

All your so called friends
Taught you how to cheat an' lie
Now it seem like you gonna jump
From the fryin' pan to the fire

Oh, but don't burn down your bridge, darlin'
You just might wanna come back
'Cause the grass ain't no greener
On the other side of the track

Hey! Ha!

Thank you! Woo!
Thank you very much!

Note: the subtitle of the song is " 'Cause You Might Wanna Come Back Across".
