He put it out
|
It meant nothing in the world to him so
|
He put it out
|
His hunger needed some attention so
|
He laid it out
|
Swapped it all for a bowl of pork and beans
|
And he got put out
|
Left for poor
|
By a man of means
|
|
Esau, you sod
|
You gave it away
|
Esau, you sought it with tears
|
Couldn't get it back again
|
|
She put it out
|
He put the heat on and she got too hot so
|
She put it out
|
Gives in a little
|
But she's giving him a lot and she lays it out
|
She's showing all her prized possessions to him and
|
She's putting out
|
She's swapping everything for what he's putting in but
|
Her lamp goes out
|
She didn't notice the light was growing dim and then
|
He goes out
|
And he takes everything that she had
|
With him
|
|
Tamar babe
|
You shoulda run away
|
Tamar babe
|
You saw it coming
|
Did you have to stay and play
|
Tamar babe!
|
Where was your head that day
|
Tamar, He took your best and left
|
You left it too late
|
Too late
|
Too late
|
Too late
|
Too late
|
|
Ashes for your veil
|
Ashes for your veil
|
Veil of ashes
|
Veil of ashes
|
Veil of ashes
|
