Hello, Good Morning Lyrics

Hello, good morning, the night-time is gone

Passed is the darkness, high up is the sun

Sold are the acres, bulldozed are the homes

Sick are the children, dull are the hoes

Dry is the river, picked clean are the bones

Baled like the cotton, before it is sewn

Sent are the letters, thrown are the stones

Hello, good morning, the night time has come

Closed are the curtains, closed are the doors

Scared are the women, the men just look bored

Don’t need a reason, don’t need a fight

Tomorrow means leaving, and now means tonight

Hello, good morning, down is the feeling

Blue’s the horizon, and time we are stealing

Hands they’re a tremblin’ and knees they’re hurtin’

Thoughts they’re assembling,

And eyes, they’re a burnin’

Head for the high ground

Or die in the low ground

Hello, good morning

The night time is gone
