Lyrics:

Sam John “Lightnin'” Hopkins was an American blues musician who has influenced many great rock bands of the 60’s.
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

When I lay myself to sleep
Pray that I don't go too deep
Lightning won, lightning won
Because it's cold down, gold down there, crow

Flatlands, lowlands on the track
Shows the water, pan the track
Lightning won, lightning won
Close up hands to silhouette, crow

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Lightning won
Lightning won

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Hound bark on the track
Hound crow hold onto your hat
Lightning won, lightning won
The lowlands, timberlands, badlands, birdlands

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
