Uncle Sledge
Eternal Shadows: Uncle Sledge's Journey Through Time
Lyrics
Uncle Sledge where ya been
Asking where Uncle Sledge has been
Ain't seen ya now since I don't know when
Expressing not having seen Uncle Sledge for an extended period
Are you laying in that graveyard
Questioning if Uncle Sledge is buried in a graveyard
Under the cold, cold ground tonight
Wondering if Uncle Sledge is deceased and buried
Can you see the stars a shining
Reflecting on the possibility of Uncle Sledge observing the stars
And the moon with her light so bright
Imagining the moon shining brightly in the sky
Did you go down to that river
Wondering if Uncle Sledge went to a cold river
Where the water is as cold as ice
Describing the water as extremely cold
Did you take them horses swimming
Questioning if Uncle Sledge took horses for a swim
Like them cows you run into the night
Comparing Uncle Sledge's actions to those of cows running into the night
Can you feel the water rushing
Imagining the sensation of rushing water, likened to an unleashed flood
Like a flood unleashed from the pit
Depicting the intensity of the water's force
Uncle Sledge, where's ya woman
Inquiring about the whereabouts of Uncle Sledge's romantic partner
Is she laying in the cold wet mud with you
Asking if Uncle Sledge's woman is buried alongside him
Did you bring her down too
Questioning if Uncle Sledge brought his woman to the same resting place
Like them dogs you used to shoot
Comparing the burial of Uncle Sledge's woman to the shooting of dogs
Let me hear you say it, man
Requesting confirmation from Uncle Sledge
Cause you know that I'm telling the truth
Asserting the truthfulness of the inquiry
Uncle Sledge, where you at
Asking for Uncle Sledge's location
Did you go down to that lake
Questioning if Uncle Sledge went to a lake with a burning fire
Where that fire's a burning
Describing the fire at the lake
And there ain't nobody to save
Emphasizing the absence of anyone to offer help or rescue
Did you wear your muddy boots
Wondering if Uncle Sledge wore muddy boots
And did they take your spurs away
Questioning if Uncle Sledge's spurs were taken away
Did they take your spurs away
Reiterating the inquiry about Uncle Sledge's spurs
