Circle Round My Bedside

[Verse 1]
Yeah, there was Levi
My first son
Awake your soul
And rise with the sun
Shake off your sloth
And early rise
To pay thy morning
Sacrifice

[Refrain]
Levi circles around my bedside
Normal circles around my bedside
Jacob circles around my bedside
And Judge Ben Lindsey circles 'round my bedside

[Spoken]
They all been circling around my bedside... here comes one of them. See here--

[Verse 2]
Yeah, there was Normal
My normal son
He finished life
Worked before the fading dawn
I said Normal
Now evening falls
Oh, sorry Father
I've been chasing bad moons (?)

[Refrain]
Normal circles around my bedside
Jacob circles around my bedside
Lindsey circles around my bedside
And slothful Levi circles around my bedside

[Spoken]
Here comes this little son of mine... Jacob

[Verse 3]
Now here's dumb Jacob
Dumb, not afraid
While those two cowered
With his ax, he did make
Hacked up my chair
Where I might lie
Sun and moon, you see people
They are one when I night

[Spoken]
You see Judge Ben Lindsey, he came into, uh, my little neck of the woods that day. He started walking up the hill, he passed Jacob Dumb sitting down there. My other two sons went down that hill, and they each grabbed that bed that Jacob Dumb had done made. They hiked it up the hill, hiked it past me laying on the porch. Hiked it up the stairs, turned it sideways and placed it in the center of my bedroom. They picked me up, brought me up the stairs, turned me sideways to fit into my bedroom. They laid me on my bed, handmade by Jacob Dumb, and they each took a corner of this bed, they stuck out their arms, wrapped their fingers around one another's wrists, and they started doing this...

[Bridge]
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circle and circle and circle
Circling around my bed

[Refrain]
Lindsey circles around my bedside
Levi circles around my bedside
Normal circles around my bedside
Jacob Dumb he circles 'round...
