Black Crowes, The - Good Morning Captain Lyrics






Well there's a ruckus on the levee
Unruly crowd on the courthouse steps
And if I make it till Sunday
I'm sho'nuff gonna ask the good Lord for help
With a moutfull of salt I try to explain
If money was sand I couldn't hold one grain
I feel like a thief that knows he's been framed
For leaving the watch but stealing the chain

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin
Me to roll around in her bed all day

Well the late nights got me reeling
Spillin out the bottle right into the next day
Got a funny little feeling gonna be like this until my dying day
There's mud in my eye but I can still see
Everybody in town is tryin to murder me
If they don't get me s'pose the hangman will
I better think twice about making this deal

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin
Me to roll around in her bed all day

Magnolia, magnolia
Let me rest under the shade of your leaves

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin
Me to roll around in her bed all day

  1. d.... m....

    Rich Robinson. The man knows tone.

  2. B.... ....

    Sounds exactly like CD version!

  3. D.... S....

    "That's exactly what we're looking for!"

  4. b.... ....

    I wish Luther had never left. I really was digging his style with the band, especially the Cabin Fever stuff like Oh Sweet Nuthin. He is amazing on that

    b.... ....

    you're damn right. I hated to see band making do with the helpless successor .

    b.... ....

    I love Luther. He is great.

  5. A.... S....

    For some reason I thought they were going to be covering Slint's "Good morning captain"

    A.... S....

    Same here haha

  6. T.... M....

    Shame they broke up, darn shame

  7. J.... ....

    Everything about this is awesome!!  Thanks for posting!

  8. S.... C....

    Me too! I also want one of the rug like things Chris is wearing. Not sure exactly what its called or where I can get one.

    S.... C....

    It's called a Poncho

  9. R.... F....

    u should check out BLACKBERRY SMOKE I just caught them at a festival this past summer and it was like the crowes little cousins or something

    And anyone who doesn't know already, the Tedeschi Trucks Band is the best soulful rock going right now. Doesn't get any more beautiful than Derek's slide and Susan's voice.

    R.... F....

    Personally, BS doesn't do it for me. Lol

    It's like the Crowes, all right. If the Crowes played only at malls and corporate parties. #BS

    R.... F....

    Meanwhile, Blackberry Smoke is well known ! Here in Germany too ! Not famous, but Rock´n´Roller love them !

  10. j.... r....

    Thats Rock n Roll.SEND to all starting bands

  11. L.... S....

    Kool & The Gang the Crowes are Gods!

  12. D.... A....

    Anybody know where I can get a hat like that??? I've been looking all over the internet!

  13. J.... A....

    you are the man sound is awesome

  14. w.... ....

    @jmdrummer7
    but dont forget the black keys

  15. k.... ....

    wow! did you record from the output of the sound board?? this is amazing!

  16. j.... ....

    The Black Crowes are probably the last of the soulful rock bands. Zeppelin will always be my favorite of all time but the Crowes are absolutly my favorite rock band still playing. Long live the Black Crowes!

  17. T.... ....

    @BobTheSubgenius SERIOUSLY THOUGH!! and that fact that this whole album was recorded live haha but definitely one of the best bands I'v ever got to see live

  18. A.... ....

    I swear the Crowes have been on Letterman more than ANY other Band! Thats awesome that theyre obviously daves Faves! LOL Well theyre mine too!

  19. h.... ....

    Kick Ass Song!

  20. d.... ....

    Rock and Roll 101. Outstanding.

  21. B.... ....

    EXCELLENT live rendition. Some performers can be good in the studio, but suck ass without all the overlays and 'fixes' that modern electronics lets them use. This band is not one of those.

    Thanks, Corkscrewy. Nice job, as Letterman would say.

  22. C.... ....

    hey thanks man. I'm a longtime Crowes fan (in fact getting ready to see them here in Chicago next week) I'm still trying to hone the audio/video quality of these uploads, so I'm glad you enjoy!

  23. M.... S....

    greatest band in the world. period.

  24. c.... ....

    the new album is excellent. i can't stop listening to it. hope they play the u.k soon.

  25. P.... ....

    Tremendous sound! Tremendous band!

  26. L.... S....

    Rich & luther dickinson play brilliantly together!!before the frost is a tremendous record!truly truly outstanding music!

  27. L.... S....

    Proper Rock n Roll.............magnificent!Black crowes are on a par with led zeppelin!

  28. b.... ....

    All your Black Crowes videos have awesome audio. I save all yours because the sound quality is so good. i love hearing Luther Dickerson's brilliant slide guitar crystal clear in my left speaker. Keep the Crowes coming Corkscrewy!

  29. b.... ....

    The whole new album "Before the Frost" was recorded live in front of an audience. It sounds better and tighter than most studio albums. They are true artists.

  30. D.... M....

    Excellent song. Excellent rock and roll band. Great upload. The Black Crowes continue to rock and roll while other idiots are shoved into our face. We need more of this great music by the Crowes. Not a bad album in the bunch.

  31. C.... ....

    Thanks for noticing, I certainly try!

  32. S.... M....

    this is the sound of your fav band sounding even better

  33. B.... ....

    The BEST rock n roll show today

  34. F.... M....

    Luther shreds

  35. I.... L....

    THAT'S how a rock n roll band is supposed to sound & look. Phenomenal!

  36. C.... G....

    Great Stuff!!!!
