Song | The Flat Baritone |
Artist | The Gourds |
Album | Ghosts of Hallelujah |
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 |
