"Eve" lyrics - 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 Eve 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"

[Chorus:]
They'll try to take you for a ride
And they'll muddy all the good you've got inside
And 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
(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)

Miles, miles Eve 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
And I'll tell you what I've found, girl, I'll tell you what I've found"

[Chorus:]
They'll try to take you for a ride
And they'll muddy all the good you've got inside
And 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
(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)
