Uncle Lijiah Lyrics – Black Oak Arkansas

Singer: Black Oak Arkansas
Title: Uncle Lijiah

Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
He’s still alive
Oh, Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
A hundred and five

There was a time early in life
When he gambled to gain
And he carried a knife
And he was winnin’ that very night

He cussed the devil, yes he cussed him good
He swore he’d lick ’em
Yes, he swore he could
And he dared him to come to Him if he would. Yeah

Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
He’s still alive
Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
A hundred and five

It was early in the mornin’ when he got to bed
To rest his weary gamblin’ head
When he heard the angry words his pappy said
“Lijiah go and fetch some wood!”

He heard his words and up he stood
Even though it hurt, he knew he should. Yeah
Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
He’s still alive. Still cookin’

Oh Uncle Li-jiah, Uncle Lijiah
A hundred and five
Outside he heard the rattle of chains
And he ran from someone

He thought insane
As he heard the devil
Callin’ out his name
The devil grabbed his suspenders well

And he trembled
As he felt the hand from hell
And he let out with a hairy yell
He jumped in bed with his Maw and Paw

And he told ’em that the devil was in Arkansas
And he told ’em he’d quit gamblin’ or break the law. Yeah
Oh, Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
He’s still alive. Still cookin’

Oh, Uncle Li-jiah, Uncle Lijiah
A hundred and five. Yeah
Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
He’s still alive. Still cookin’, yeah

Oh Uncle Li-jiah, Uncle Lijiah
A hundred and five
