Stompin' Ground - Rory Gallagher

I’ve been bitten, lord, I’ve been stung

Well I was cornered, and I was almost hung

Well, I sure made a getaway

And I’m almost back on my stompin' ground

Well, it’s been written

Many, many times it’s been sung

Well, it’s well learned by the old folks

And unheeded by the young

Well, the grass may be greener but me

I just want my stompin' ground

Yeah

Well, I hear the river’s swollen

The bridge is broken down

Weatherman’s heartbroken

But even he can’t stop me now

Won’t you tell the folks I’m leavin'?

And I won’t be long

Keep the door wide open

And you will hear the train I’m on

I’ve been bitten, lord I’ve been stung

Well, that’s alright I’m goin' back

To my old stompin' ground

Drenched by the rain

Almost blinded by the sun

I’m too awake for walkin'

But I’m much too tired to run

I just want to let my feet sink

Deep in my stompin' ground

Well, I been jailed

Last week I was sprung

Well, it’s in the mornin' paper

I’ve been lookin' all around

Well, I’m just gonna dig in my heels

See how it feels

I’m goin' back to my stompin' ground

My old stompin' ground, let’s go
