Eve - Sarah Jarosz

A long, long time ago in a little Texas town

Eve made her way to the field below

To have a look around, girls, to have a look around

Down, down she did go, further in the fields

When she heard a voice singing sweet and low

Dig in with your heels, girl, dig in with your heels

Eyes wide, heart inside like a gavel comin' down

All around her brain was the sweet refrain

Keep following the sound, girl, keep following the sound

They’ll try to take you for a ride

They’ll muddy all the good you’ve got inside

They’ll twist your heart until it’s black and blue

But don’t let ‘em keep you down, girl

Don’t let ‘em keep you down

Miles, miles she did go, when at last she came upon

The source of the sound in the watery ground

And the night was coming on, girls, the night was coming on

Through the wilderness and the cypress trees

And the night birds all around

She made her way to the river’s edge

And her mother there she found, girls, her mother there she found

Eyes wide, heart inside like a gavel comin' down

When her mother said, come and rest your head

I’ll tell you what I’ve found, girl, I’ll tell you what I’ve found

They’ll try to take you for a ride

They’ll muddy all the good you’ve got inside

They’ll twist your heart until it’s black and blue

But don’t let ‘em keep you down girl

Don’t let ‘em keep you down
