[00:24.93] Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[00:30.67] Oh baby bake me something sweet
[00:36.54] Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[00:42.58] Oh baby give me bread to eat
[00:47.74]
[00:48.66] There are places in the damp Northwest where
[00:54.30] The bodies lie down head to feet
[01:00.12] There were losses in the California sunshine
[01:06.29] Tell you stories that you can't repeat
[01:11.33]
[01:24.33] In the winter when the valley's flooded
[01:29.96] Those were times where the rooms were cheap
[01:35.83] The summer dirt lines the corner's of your pockets
[01:41.65] I'm still buried there ten feet deep
[01:46.95]
[01:48.91] Papa don't place this curse on me
[01:53.90]
[01:54.45] Heaven knows I can't use it
[02:00.38] Papa don't place this stone on me
[02:06.31] Mama there's no future in it
[02:11.19]
[02:23.61] We travel on the back roads lightly
[02:29.14] Through Castle City and the hills beyond
[02:34.50]
[02:35.33] Me and Joan on the Sacramento
[02:41.18] Me and Joan this is where we're from
[02:46.39]
[02:47.49] Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[02:53.14] Oh baby bake me something sweet
[02:58.78] Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[03:04.86] Oh baby give me bread to eat
[03:10.06]
[03:23.80] Papa don't place this curse on me
[03:29.42] Heaven knows I can't use it
[03:34.19]
[03:35.57] Papa don't place this curse on me
[03:41.25] Mama there's no future in it
[03:45.95]
[03:46.80] Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[03:52.28] Oh baby bake me something sweet
[03:58.24] Oh honey take me out I'm a deadman
[04:04.30] Oh baby give me bread to eat
[04:09.44]
[04:10.30] Oh honey where's the colours of the springtime
[04:16.05] The pale green of an organdy dress
[04:21.26]
[04:21.86] Her shadow grows in the California sunshine
[04:27.70] But nothing else in the south south-west
[04:33.71]
