Eric Bibb - Don't let nobody drag your spirit down

 

 

You might slip, you might slide

You might stumble and fall by the roadside

But don't ever let nobody drag your spirit down

Remember you're walking up to heaven

Don't let nobody turn you 'round.

Walk with the rich, walk with the poor

Learn from everyone, that's what life is for

And don't let nobody drag your spirit down

Remember you're walking up to heaven

Don't let nobody turn you 'round.

Some say yes, some say no

Some wait and see which way the wind blows

But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down

When we're walking up to heaven

Don't let nobody turn you 'round.

Well, I might say things that sound strange to you

And I might preach the gospel, I believe it's true

I won't let nobody drag my spirit down

Yes, I'm walking up to heaven, people

Won't let nobody turn me 'round.

You might slip, you might slide

You might stumble and fall by the roadside

But don't ever let nobody drag your spirit down

Remember you're walking up to heaven

Don't let nobody turn you 'round.

      There's a John Lee Hooker tone there, cool! His voice is so deep and strong and it's like blues is burning down his guts. The lyrics try to give courage to the negroes who suffer the colour of their skin.
