Lyrics


 Lay low little babe
 You're still my precious child
 You're all old and grown now
 But you're still the same inside

 Standin' on the whippgrass
 Standin' on the whippgrass
 Sittin' on the whippgrass
 Watch and see how we last

 You're not alone tonight, babe
 You're not so far from your home
 You got the strength of all us, babe
 I give a prayer unknown(?)

 Sittin' on the whippgrass
 Sittin' on the whippgrass
 Just sittin' on the whippgrass
 I'm so full 
 and this is so vast

 I know we'll all be together, babe
 Someday, somehow
 Carry to a higher bound, babe
 It's not a sight or a sound 

 Smokin' around 
 It's within me somehow
 I'll carry to what I am bound
 The truth that I have found 

 Standin' on the whippgrass
 It moves along the whippgrass
 It moves along the whippgrass
 It moves along the whippgrass
 It moves along the whippgrass
 It moves along the whippgrass
 See how it lasts
