raisn' sand...
« on: January 30, 2012, 06:02:04 PM »
Hi all,

New to the forum and just wanted to say hi.

I have noticed that everyone hears the lyrics rasin sand in songs such as BLJ's easy rider blues.

I hear raisin this hand.

There's gonna be the time that a woman don't need no man
Said there's gonna be a time that a woman don't need no man
So, baby, shut your mouth and don't be raisin this hand

Welcome poolshark. This has come up a lot over the years.

Go up to the main forum (to avoid confusing the search, which has a tiny bug in it at present). Or click here.

Type the following into the search box in the left column, and be sure 'Entire forum' is selected: raisin' sand

I don't recall anyone hearing that before but we're always learning.
