about

Babi heard Herb Pedersen sing this Jim Sullivan song at a songwriting workshop at Alan Munde's Camp Bluegrass in Levelland, Texas. Herb had completely transformed Jim's "Biblical Boogie" into something mysterious and profound that speaks to the heart of a faith that is complex and is not afraid to ask questions. One of the greatest joys of the pandemic was getting the chance to sing with my wife Babi and daughter Corey, who join me on this track.

lyrics

True he's gone
Gone away on another round
True he’s gone
Gone away on another round

All the fools, they, like me, know
He'll come around again
All the fools, they, like me, know
He'll come 'round again

Wise men come
Lend a hand and then leave again
Wis men come
Lend a hand, then leave again

It’s a land
That he worked for another man
It’s a land
That he worked for another man

True he's gone
Gone away on another round
True he's gone
Gone away on another round

All the fools, they like me, know
He’ll come around again
All the fools, they, like me, know
He'll come 'round again.
