[Chorus]
Threadbare little earth (Threadbare little earth)
Threadbare little earth (Threadbare little earth)
To its fields down the river (Oh yeah)
Down the night, down the river (Oh yeah)
Threadbare little earth (Threadbare little earth)
Threadbare little earth (Threadbare little earth)
Oh when will it take us? (When oh when?)
To its fields down the river (Oh yeah)

[Verse]
Victory's garments smother the ground
(All around, scattered around)
Charcoal sky will never come down
(Never come down, never come down)
(Gonna heat it up, gonna heat it up
Gonna heat it up, gonna heat it up)
Grand mama sleepin' (Gonna heat it up)
A breast hair come creepin' (Gonna heat it up)
(Gonna heat it up, gonna heat it up)
Grand mama sleepin' (Gonna heat it up)
A breast hair come creepin' (Gonna heat it up)
(Gonna heat it up, gonna heat it up)

[Refrain]
And when do we go?
And when do we go?
And when do we go?
And when do we go?
[Chorus]
Threadbare little earth (Threadbare little earth)
Threadbare little earth (Threadbare little earth)
To its fields down the river (Oh yeah)
Down the night, down the river (Oh yeah)
Threadbare little earth

[Refrain]
And when do we go?
And when do we go?
And when do we go?
And when do we go?
And when do we go? (Get your coat)
And when do we go? (Get your coat)
And when do we go? (Get your coat)
And when do we go?
Get your coat
