The Flat Baritone Lyrics

	作曲 : Russell
	Form a ring and wind and twine
	Round the ol' grape vine
	Heavy on the wire from the house
	Salt the cow and kill the calf
	Meet yer lonesome with a once and a half
	Gent¹s on the east and ladies on the south
	The solemn boy carries his silver damage
	Sold but for, the number and the image
	His eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
	Empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
	Paper yellowed from the salt and the failure
	When he sings he slurs
	& uses the meat of his thigh
	T¹hold the book he wrote when he was lame
	So wrapped up in his flat baritone
	No castrato could woo him in from the rain
	For he never raised his voice when his britches
	Was spillin¹ over with that honey truck richness
	His eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
	Empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
	Paper yellowed from the salt and the failure
	Well the stylus hit the patches
	As he spit on the splashes
	& sought out the scratches in the vinyl
	'neath a needle topped with nickels
	To keep the tunes a-goin'
	Cracklin', croonin' & crowin'
	Multi-colored, hard-boiled & hidden
	In the corners, with the dogs rusty remnants
	His eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
	Empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
	Paper yellowed from the salt and the failure
