Elwood: Sundown

I seen Gord play Sundown in person, and I appreciate this.

Still one of my top ten fav songs

Just, THE BEST😉😎👍🏻🤠☝🏻👌🏻

OverviewVideosLyricsListen
Yo I could see her lying back in a satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
She was a high pocket rumblin', movin' in the oven in
Turn table in turn table, B what's the deal
Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick
When it's time to get busy out the hat comes a trick
So when the sun goes down you better take care
For find you've been creepin' around my back stair
Sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stair
She's a queen, lookin' mean in a sailor's dream
She gotta come clean, gotta say what she mean
She gotta fess up, yo is her dress up?
Oh indeed, and tell em how it is B, bring em up to speed
Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick
When it's time to get busy out the hat comes a trick
It's a shame when a game leaves you out the frame
It's the lovin' for the sinnin' comes the losin' and the winnin'
Sometimes I think its a shame when I get feeling better
When I'm feeling no pain
See I could picture every move that a man could make
You took steps, you fell in love, and that's your first mistake
You in a hole, gotta pole, but you shimmy up the wrong way
Hey yo the suns going down and I feel like its my last day
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stair
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losin' again
Yeah, sometimes the silence is just more valuable
She let her hair down, big frown, sad 'cause she's lost out
A big city cat who goes for minds on a trip
Day by day the sunshine soakin' in a warm bath
The sunlight
I can see her lying back in a satin dress
In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown, sundown, sundown
I can picture every move a man could make
Gettin' lost in her lovin' is your first mistake
Sundown, sundown, sundown
She was looking fast in the faded jeans
She's a hard lovin' woman, gotta know what I mean
She stepped up in the spot
She made the spot hot
Give it away, give it away yeah
Sometimes I think its a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
And sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stair
And sundown you better take care
If I find you been creepin' 'round
Find you been creepin' 'round my back stair
And sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again
Oh, I'm losing again
I'm losing again
I'm losing again
I'm losing again
I'm losing again
I'm losing again
I'm losing again
I'm losing again

A well written song will always stand the test of time. Fantastic version of Mr. Lightfoot's classic tune.

Rapping to country beats and fresh lyrics this guy is a fuckin. Genius

This Country fuckin rappin shit be bumping 😊

Theve taken the song & made their version awesome

always wondered if that was Bono at the end?

I was 29 when this came out, I’m 52 now and I still listen…one of the best covers ever !😊

I heard this on a 2000's Abercrombie and finch in-store music CD and I'm so addicted to this song

This is pure brilliance on so many levels

While I prefer the original, this version is still a bop

Check out Langhorne Slum's rendition just heard it last night. Blew me away. As foes this i was in highschool when the song came out originally 🎶🎶🎶✌️😎♥️🎶🎶🎶

This track is hot! Thank you.

Space aliens and humans alike can agree

My mom worked at Family Video when they gave this away as a trailer on Cassette, along with King Fish. I can't tell you how many times I hit rewind to listen to this.

I remember when first hearing this great cover in year 2000, still sounds fresh 23 years later!

Backstair to backstairs Mandella Efect😂

he doesnt mention Lightfoot at all even takes created for writing the song - should be sued, thats what wrong with todays music they steal from the real music writer and never credit them

Always loved this rendtion, it respects Gordon Lightfoot's craft and adds a fresh twist on the original. Glad its not a karaoke version.

One of the best covers ever,
❤

RIP Gordon Lightfoot ✨

I don't usually listen to Rap music, but this is not bad in tribute to the original. Rest in Paradise Gordon.

Ffs people! Quit calling this a cover

RIP Gordon : (

This is such a brilliant cover version of Sundown

RIP...🥲

So sad Mr Lightfoot passed but y'all really showed him respect by doing a great job remixing Sundown. Rock On and Much Respect!

Had to come back to this. Love this cover!

One of the best covers ever made, of any song. Pays homage to the original but is original itself. I’ve always loved this song!

RIP Gordon Lightfoot

Reminds me of my son, who is 48 now, playing this version of the Gordon Lightfoot classic when he was single and living at home. I played him the original and we had a great time. He still likes to find samples of rock classics in rap and hip hop tunes and sending them to me for fun.
This was from at least 20 years ago, right?

Is all-rite! I don't hate it, I like it!

Sitting here absorbing the loss of the incredible Gordon Lightfoot and discovered this gem. What a fantastic cover of a classic. Thank you.

I'm picking mushrooms from my teeth. I ain't even peaked yet.

Absolutely love this cover! I was like 12 when I first heard it.

Totallly amazing rap funk from classic folk

Hahahaha. 👍

Very cool. Heard on CSI NY

When does the video start? This is just an image.

I just heard this in the Manhattan-henge episode of CSI New York. Of course, I am quite familiar with the original.

Really? If I was Gordon Lightfoot somebody would get a guitar upside their head.

It was kinda hot in the summer of 1999, or whatever, but I'm not really sure this holds up.

Did a great job. One of my favorite all time

We'll done
.

Just curious but the singer at the end of this track sounds like the the lead singer from LCD soundsystem. Am I right?

Please do a cover of Kenny Rogers love will turn you around.

Love that 12 string,insane on original. Great tune either way

This song is legit
