Burn Down The Mission (Incl. My Baby Left Me / Get Back)

You tell me there's an angel in your tree

Did he say he'd come to call on me?

For things are getting desperate in our home

Living in the parish, of the restless folks I know

Everybody now, bring your family down to the riverside

Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide

Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps

It's time we put the flame torch to their keep

Burn down the mission

If we're gonna stay alive

Watch the black smoke fly to heaven

See the red flame light the sky

Burn down the mission

Burn it down to stay alive

It's our only chance of living

Take all you need to live inside

You gotta breathe 'em down

Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today

My wife cried when they came to take me away

But what more could I do just to keep her warm

Than burn-burn-burn, burn down the mission walls

Everybody, bring your family down to the riverside

Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide

Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps

It's time we put the flame torch to their keep

Burn down the mission

If we're gonna stay alive

Watch the black smoke fly to heaven

See the red flame light the sky

Burn down the mission

Burn it down to stay alive

It's our only chance of living

Take all you need to live inside

Burn it down, burn it down

Burn it down, burn it down

Yeah

Burn down

Alright, yeah

Well my baby left me

Never said a word

Was it something I done

Something that she heard?

My baby left me, baby left me

My baby even left me

Never said a word

Well my baby left me

Never said a thing

Never said a word, don't you worry my baby left me

Baby left me

Baby you done left now

Gave no farewell

Rock and roll, woah

Have a pop that, clap your hands, come on

Clap your hands, fallin' back, clap your hands

Oh clap

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner

But he knew it couldn't last

Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona

For some California grass

So get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman

But she was another man

All the girls around her said she's had it coming

But she gets it while she can

So get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

For me baby

Oh everybody, get back, get back

Get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back
