|
The leather soles go shufflin' in |
|
Stinking of smoke and ten cent gin |
|
Now who will toast our noble host |
|
Who has this mornin' given up the ghost? |
|
The wooden coffer hand to hand |
|
Kind words are offered, silent prayers |
|
But she is satisfied the most |
|
While stabbing madly at the roast |
|
The rib of |
|
Adam, the eyes of |
|
EveThe sons of |
|
Cain receive no reprieve |
|
The rib of |
|
Adam, the eyes of |
|
EveThe sons of |
|
Cain receive no reprieve |
|
The creditor rides with his men |
|
The death of debtors, he won't forgive |
|
They repossess his silver eyes |
|
Now in the potter's field, he lies |
|
The rib of |
|
Adam, the eyes of |
|
EveThe sons of |
|
Cain receive no reprieve |
|
The rib of |
|
Adam, the eyes of |
|
EveThe sons of |
|
Cain receive no reprieve |
|
Waitin' for a dead man's shoes |
|
Have you heard the latest news? |
|
Lazarus is back from the dead |
|
Lookin' as one would expect |
|
Drippin' with the waters of |
|
SheolBabblin' about body and soul |
|
And then he found his wife in their bed |
|
Buck, naked and already wed |
|
The tax collector beneath his sheets |
|
The door swings open, floorboards creak |
|
Now who will toast our noble host |
|
Who has this mornin' given up the ghost? |
|
The rib of |
|
Adam, the eyes of |
|
EveThe sons of |
|
Cain receive no reprieve |
|
The rib of |
|
Adam, the eyes of |
|
EveThe sons of |
|
Cain receive no reprieve |
|
The rib of |
|
Adam, the eyes of |
|
EveThe sons of |
|
Cain will receive no reprieve |
|
The rib of |
|
Adam, the eyes of |
|
EveThe sons of |
|
Cain will receive, will receive |
