Augustana - Sweet and Low (Acoustic Version)
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies
I said, well, hell is so close and heaven’s out of reach
But I ain’t giving up quite yet, I’ve got too much to loseHold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down and I’ll carry you homeThe rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine
The wind is gonna blow, the water’s gonna rise
She said, when that day comes, look into my eyes
But no one’s giving up quite yet, we’ve got too much to loseHold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me downAnd I’ll carry you all the way when you say you’re fine
But you’re still young and out of line
And when all I need’s to turn around to make it last, to make it count
I ain’t gonna make the same mistakes that put my mama in her grave
I don’t wanna be aloneHold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
So hold me down and I’ll carry you home
