Hell's gate


From the cracking of the whip
Nanny worked down at the shop
Lifting hell's gate, she lifted hell's gate
From the cracking of the whip
Pappy worked down at the shipyard
Jail mate, jail mate

Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails, who knows, not I
False alarm, narrow escape
Nearly got my cousin raped
Hell's gate
Feathers ruffle hell's gate

Shoot the cat, shoot the crow
Empty pocket seed to sew
Daddy wore his baggies low
Stinky long john

From the cracking of the whip
Nanny worked down at the shop
Lifting hell's gate, she lifted hell's gate
From the cracking of the whip
Pappy worked down at the shipyard
Jail mate, jail mate

Shoot the cat, shoot the crow
Toss a penny, make it grow
Take the shine off
Take the shine off

Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails, who knows, not I
Time to pass on in them chips
If the shoe never fit
Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails to live or die
Time to pass on in your chips
If you've given your last wish

My momma taught me how to pray
I didn't know who to blame or who to thank
I see her face in the clouds
Pick a feather from the ground
Try to make my momma proud
What would she say to you?

Shoot the cat, shoot the crow
Toss a penny, make it grow
Take the shine off
Take the shine off

From the cracking of the whip
Pappy worked down at the shipyard
Jail mate, jail mate

Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails, who knows, not I
Time to pass on in them chips
If the shoe never fits
Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails, to live or die
Time to pass on in your chips
If you've given your last wish
Time to pass on in your chips
If you've given your last wish

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Cocorosie is a musical duo formed by American sisters Sierra and Bianca Casady. Their style, described by themselves as «an eclectic montage», blends harp arpeggios, unusual percussion (including children's toys) and two contrasting voices: Sierra's operatic voice and Bianca's high-pitched, delicate tone. Active since 2001, the Casady sisters have released several albums, including "The Unraveling" (2005), "Tales of the Great Overworld" (2008) and "Genuine Article" (2013). Their experimental and poetic sound has attracted the attention of critics and audiences alike, solidifying their place in the indie music scene. Among their most representative songs are «The Violet Hour», «Sea of Love» and «Ginger Snaps».
