Dancin' Moon Songcast Ep. 48 Selma Sundays

Featured song from 2002's Grace EP 

Selma Sundays

Selma sang on Sundays,
Slid up to reach the highs.
She sang about Amazing Grace
And angels from the skies.

 

And in the car she sang to me
"A-chewin'" on her gum,
"I love you a bushel an' a peck..." she'd sing
But my Papaw--- he'd just hum.
(Hum)

 

I need another Selma Sunday afternoon
I need another Selma Sunday afternoon---
I need some sweet potato, buttermilk 'n cornbread in a spoon
I need another Selma Sunday afternoon.

 

The car slid through the spruce and pine
Right up to the long church drive,
We all knew when we'd get home
We was gonna eat 'til four or five.
And when the sun begins to slant
Them cicadas start to sing
And Selma sits in that old lawn chair
And it don't mean a thing...
No, it don't have to mean a thing
If you just want to sing.
(La la la de-dum)

 

We need another Selma Sunday afternoon
We need another Selma Sunday afternoon---
We need some sweet potato, buttermilk 'n cornbread in a spoon
We all need another Selma Sunday afternoon.
(La la la de-dum)
