Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Border Song (Holy Moses)

Holy Moses, I have been removed

I have seen the spectre, he was been here too

Distant cousin from down the line

Brand of people who ain't my kind

Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, I have been deceived

Now the wind has changed direction

I think I'll have to leave

Won't you please excuse my frankness

But it's not my cup of tea

Holy Moses, I have been deceived, yes, I have

I'm going back to the border

Where my affairs, my affairs ain't been abused

I can't take any more bad water

I've been poisoned from my head down to my shoes

Yes, I have

Holy Moses, I have been removed

Holy Moses, can we live in peace

Let us try to find a way to make all hatred cease

There's a man standing over there

What's his color do you care

Holy Moses, can we live in peace

Holy Moses, can we live in peace

Holy Moses, can we live in

I wonder can we live in peace
