i heard this song on a spotify road trip playlist a while ago but never searched for the name & it has been stuck on my mind ever since. i only knew the "oh my savannah" part... i'm so glad i found it! this song is amazing!
These great fields are stretching Taking me oh so far These great fields are stretching Savannah stretching oh so far And this dry air is taking My girl and it's oh so hard And I wish I had a melody for a songbird to sing back my love Oh my Savannah Did it have to be so hard? Oh my Savannah Taking all my love and all my heart Oh, tailor won't you make me The finest suit so dark and black and grey Oh, and old John won't you lend me The finest gun your eyes have ever laid The fastest bullet flying Nobody never feel no pain 'Cause this plains they took my baby And I'm gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay Oh, and oh my Savannah Did it have to be so hard? Oh, and oh my Savannah Taking all my love and all my heart Oh no no Oh no no Oh no no Oh no no Oh no no No no And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling And I need to start I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling I need a friend And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling I need you in my heart Oh no no Oh no no No no Oh, tailor won't you make me The finest suit so dark and black and grey And old John won't you lend me The finest gun your eyes have ever laid The fastest bullet flying So quick nobody ever feel no pain 'Cause the plains they took my baby Oh, and I'm gonna take you to the funeral beds to lay Oh no no Oh no no Oh no no Oh no no Oh no no No no no And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling And I need to start I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling I need you in my heart And I hate to say I love you Ooh goddamn I love you, but You know I do But you're gone away, gone away, gone away These great fields are stretching Taking me oh so far
FRom what I can hear of them on one take of Funeral Beds the lyrics are real strong and the singer is selling his vision like Springsteen does. I'm feel in' it.
I must say I like the way you play the harmonica better in the Hot Box Session. This version the harmonica sounds softer, in the live version it was FULL of passion! You guys are so good though that something like this is very easily forgiven.
I have just made a tab for this song if any of you guys were wondering how to play it on guitar. tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/the_districts/funeral_beds_crd.htm Hope this helps
Hi there! I'm currently doing a school project and I was wondering if it would be alright to use this song for my video? Full credit would be given to you :)
Minha cachorrinha morreu. Ela se chamava Lua, era uma pitbull misturada e bem atrapalhada. Às vezes a chamávamos de feia devido ao jeitinho dela - isso ta me matando. O meu conselho é que vocês sejam bons donos aos seu cães e honrem a inexplicável admiração e o amor que eles têm por vocês. Eu podia ter sido mais... Adeus Luazinha.

dang!! stumbled upon this song... how powerful his voice is?! I felt this song in my bones!
Heard this song in a movie, panickly tried to remember the lyrics, googled it, found it, now in love with it.❤️
What movie?
I first heard this song in the movie "About Alex", and both are equally wonderful :)
Nothing worse than forgetting the lyrics and not getting the song : )
His voice and this song is just the definition of beautiful.
agreed! like your picture by the way haha
Hands down the best non-headliner performing at Lollpalooza this year.
It's messed up this video doesn't have millions of views by now...
These great fields are stretching
Taking me oh so far
These great fields are stretching
Savannah stretching oh so far
And this dry air is taking
My girl and it's oh so hard
And I wish I had a melody for a songbird to sing back my love
Oh my Savannah
Did it have to be so hard?
Oh my Savannah
Taking all my love and all my heart
Oh, tailor won't you make me
The finest suit so dark and black and grey
Oh, and old John won't you lend me
The finest gun your eyes have ever laid
The fastest bullet flying
Nobody never feel no pain
'Cause this plains they took my baby
And I'm gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay
Oh, and oh my Savannah
Did it have to be so hard?
Oh, and oh my Savannah
Taking all my love and all my heart
Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no
No no
And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
And I need to start
I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
I need a friend
And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
I need you in my heart
Oh no no
Oh no no
No no
Oh, tailor won't you make me
The finest suit so dark and black and grey
And old John won't you lend me
The finest gun your eyes have ever laid
The fastest bullet flying
So quick nobody ever feel no pain
'Cause the plains they took my baby
Oh, and I'm gonna take you to the funeral beds to lay
Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no
No no no
And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
And I need to start
I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
I need you in my heart
And I hate to say I love you
Ooh goddamn I love you, but
You know I do
But you're gone away, gone away, gone away
These great fields are stretching
Taking me oh so far
This song kicks some serious ass! Can't get enough of it.
anyone have the feels like ur on a road trip when listening to this song?
Aeiou Rdoriguez I thought the same 😍
Saw them live a few weeks ago in Milwaukee, they are very entertaining performers!! best show I've been to in a while
im honestly honored to have been able to meet them when i went out there a year ago
A high light of the HangOut Fest. Love you guys. . . I have a new band obsession.
Its timeless and beautyful thanx guys ❤
Makes the,passing of my sister pauline Johnson and my grandmother Christine Reid easier makes me content also so true so pure
One of my favorite road trip jams
Omg... so beautiful.
About Alex !
Powerful song...
FRom what I can hear of them on one take of Funeral Beds the lyrics are real strong and the singer is selling his vision like Springsteen does. I'm feel in' it.
BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!! checking into these !!
I can't stop listening, it's like a mix between my two favorite bands
who?
Cage the Elephant and Margot and the Nuclear So and So's
WaywardBandit with some kings of leon in there
+Abigail I was thinking the same thing, a cross between Cage and The Lumineers

Wow. About to get my mind blown when I see them open for the jacket boys. Fuck yeah.
they went to the public high school in my town and they're doing a free concert that I might attend tonight
great sound
discovered you a few weeks ago and head over heals in love with you guys!
Does anybody have the setlist from Fuji Rock 2015?? Never seen these guys before then!! was against the front barrier, and I was blown away!!!!!
Harnessing the bluegrass roots of their PA territories.
finally, a song with my name ^•^
but moral of the story is very sad.
Sounds like Ashamed by Deer Tick
