Ivy creepin' up the old gravestone
|
Ivy creepin' up the old gravestone
|
Willow tree swayin' like a ghost 'neath the yellow moon
|
That big black train is moanin' in the stockyard
|
That big black train is moanin' in the stockyard
|
Devil bury daddy down deep in hell
|
The last time I saw him, he was dead drunk
|
Leavin' in a box car
|
|
I'm one mean orphan hitchin' through the badlands
|
I'm one mean orphan hitchin' through the badlands
|
With a cracked and faded picture of the man I call Dad
|
When I find you, you're gonna know it
|
You're gonna sleep right next to your wife, man
|
I'm gonna teach you a lesson your kid has learned
|
Never go back on your word
|
|
I never knew my Dad
|
But I still want to meet him
|
I'm gonna tell that man,
|
"There is some blood on your hands"
|
I never knew my Dad
|
But I still want to meet him
|
I'm gonna tell that man
|
Whether you loved us or not
|
Garbage is stuff you throw out
|
|
Can't stop coughin' and my hat's filled with rain
|
Can't stop coughin' and my hat's filled with rain
|
I got hunger burnin'
|
Like a fever in my brain
|
Ma got frail and I watched her suffer
|
Ma got frail and I watched her suffer
|
Now she's dead and her blood's on your hands
|
I swore to her I'd hunt you down and bury you
|
Right next to her on our land
|
|
I never knew my Dad
|
But I still want to meet him
|
I'm gonna show that man
|
Whether you loved us or not
|
Garbage is stuff you throw out
|
I'm just the son you don't want
|
