Mama’s in the kitchen
Heels are in the hall
Horsey’s in the stable
Kicking in the stall
“Go to bed, kid. Rest your head, kid
Be a good little sleeper
Don’t you mind the vine that climbs
It’s just the Virginia Creeper”
Mama’s going down, down, down
In Swamptown
The devil’s on the coo-coo
He’s on overtime
Driven and determined
Sin to redefine
The apple fell on the jezebel
She rang out like a preacher
“Gather ‘round you hell-bound
Cast-off, crooked creatures”
Mama’s going down, down, down
In Swamptown

Downriver
Downriver
Downriver
Down
Halfway down Bear Mountain’s back
In a rusted metal shack
Intersections of the past
Downriver
Where the mountains hide the truth
Under balsam, birch, and spruce
Lay the body out of view
Downriver
Oh, if they’ll ever know
Carry on, little hideaway
River rolling through the day
Spirits singing to the dead
Downriver
Every night he can hear the band
Muddy river hymnals and
Lonesome wolf inside the man
Downriver
Oh, if they’ll ever know
The whole world may never know
There’s one man who could know what he knows, however
The last time he was seen he was heading downriver
Downriver
Downriver
Downriver
Downriver
Down

Papa's Gone Missing
04:20

They found his truck
Stuck in the muck
At the edge of the forest
The one they say’s haunted
By them outlaws wanted
For killing that tourist
Papa’s gone missing
Papa’s gone missing
He had lots of debts
He knew all the vets
He carried a buck knife
It’s been a week
Mama won’t speak
The house sprung a leak
Papa’s gone missing
Papa’s gone missing
Somebody saw him
Talking with Big Jim
On the night that it happened
Down by the place
The coppers can’t trace
Or was I mistaken?
Papa’s gone missing
Papa’s gone missing

Deja Voodoo
03:55

|
I was on the corner across from the Doctor (John)
Finishing a plate made of fear
Worry of the science, singing of the silence
After the air had cleared
The moon hangs low, heavy on the scene
But you don’t do that deja voodoo, do you?
I was in the car—this was the second time
Nearing the diner and Doc
Karma on the corner, bullet in a barstool
Smoking the place like a spirit
The moon hangs low, any time you ask
But you don’t do that deja voodoo do you

All ye wicked, sick-at-the-heart folk
I got good news
The big bad wolf is back from the forest
With cures for your blues
Whatcha got to lose?
Po’ boy
The stuff so good could punch the badge off
A copper’s pride
The meanest, leanest, greenest concoction
You’ve ever tried
Whatcha got to hide?
Po' boy
I may have failed to mention
This backwoods invention
Got some side affection
For a woo-hoo la da da da da
Preacher, put down your book of scripture
Give ol’ Jake a break
It ain’t like Big Mike didn’t see ya
Down at the lake
Trying on your snake-
Skin boots
I may have failed to mention
This backwoods invention
Got some side affection
For a woo-hoo la da da da da

Dead snake drowning in the Rio Grande
He tried to swim, but he ain’t got no hands
Dead snake drowning in the Rio Grande
He tried to swim, but he ain’t got no hands
Dead snake sleeping by the side of the road
He ain’t got no job or anywhere to go
Dead snake sleeping by the side of the road
He ain’t got no job or anywhere to go

The fading sun and afternoon
The fading light, day gone son
Plain-clothes cop caught in cross-town traffic
Midnight herringbone stuck in a dog’s eye
The setting sun lost afternoon
The killing light, day gone soon
Plain-clothes cop caught in cross-town traffic
Midnight herringbone stuck in a dog’s eye

A Ghost In Love

Been gone
So long
I don’t know where
I am
This land’s
Too bare to care
I think
I thought
I saw someone
Long ago
But you know
What’s done is done
Madame, release me, release me
Madame, release me, release me
Come dawn
She’s gone
She left a note
She wrote:
That’s all
She wrote
Madame, release me, release me
Madame, release me, release me
