Ripe Red Apple

by Ripe Red Apple

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This is our fiery new album, released on August 12, 2014. It's made up of ten original blues songs inspired by the great roots musicians of the early 1900s and by the hypnotic riff-and-rhythm emphasis of northern Mississippi hill country music. With bulletproof loyalty and with much love.

When she came my way my friends, I did not have a choice. When she came my way my friends, I ran to play with the boys. When she came my way my friends, I had to wipe my nose. When she came my way my friends, I could not use my voice. When she came my way, I did not want to stay. When she came my way my friends, I had to run and hide. When she came my way my friends, I threw away my pride. Oh, into her arms I fell, I did not have a choice. Then like a bird with broken wings I knew, and threw away my toys. When she came my way, I had to stay. When she came my way my friends, I had to run and hide. When she came my way my friends, I grabbed her skirt and cried. But into her arms I fell, I did not have a choice. Then like a bird with broken wings I knew, and threw away my toys.

I picked the apple from the tree. Lust, passion, are best friends to me. I would much rather be free Than die having obeyed thee. The winds are cold, the fire's hot! Yes we are naked, yes we fuck a lot. Well god wanted us to blindly obey, But for knowledge, thank our apple every day. Well pack our things, we'll get out of here; I can feel, the winter's near. We'll take the serpent, he'll guide our way. Don't worry baby, 'cause nothin’ stays...

When my baby left me, you know, I started to cry. Got my broken shoes, all hid in lies. Lost control, one more time, of my broken life. Freedom is the only thing that don't pass me by. Dreams, well they come and go, and plans awry. When my baby left me, you know, I started to cry. Back to the earth I fell, no reasons why, Tryin' hard to heal the pain, desire still mine. Well freedom is the only thing that don't pass me by When I lose everythin’ I got, no reasons why. Plans, yeah, they come and go, and love and lies, But when I fall back down to earth, freedom's at my side. Freedom's at my side… mmm, time to lose, freedom's at my side.

You're not, that narrow, Get dressed, I'm hauntin' your eyes. You're my black railroad, You're just made gone a-rye. You're not that sparrow, You’re sly and say alright. But you're not my water, Your river was made to dry. Lad-ay, my marrow, What hay you done tonight? What's they black water, Shine, hey, wade in the night. My back bone railroad My lad-ay shine a light No doubt, she's haunted Ba-bay do me outta my mind

Outta Here 02:31
I don't care where ya goin', I've had enough down here. I'm gonna catch the next ride and get on outta here. I don't care what you're sayin', can't even hear ya no more. I'll take those words you're sayin', bury them deep in the floor. Well you can do what you'd like, girl, I'm leavin' you behind, Yes you can do what you'd like, I'm leavin' you behind. I don't care what you're thinking, I'm getting out of here, Next train that's comin' lonesome, I'm gonna ride alone my dear. I'm ridin' alone. I don't care where you're goin'.

It don't matter but everything has come undone. I'm thumbing my way to north Californ', I'm goin. Oh mama, you know I tried to make it home. Layin' out lucky tonight near Wilsonville, Oo warm my face in the gray green frosty sunrise. Oh mama ya know I tried to make it home The stories on the road that folks confide, And they don't ever cry. They say it'll be alright Oh that it’ll be alright. Oh that it’ll be alright.

Mineral 03:59
Where you came from was a hell-sent torment. Raised in the mine until you were ten. Then you packed a sack and left, Followin' a man's finger tip. You thought the train was an animal roaring' in the sun, But you found the door as your mother's first son. Oh, how she looked at you. Oh, how we cried. Well look how the minerals change With some time. There ain't no shame. Mmm water and wind. Mmm earth and flame. Mmm with a lack of love, mmm the same game.
