Black Lung
Walkin up with winkin eyes
Seen that tight-lipped grin
I could tell from a mile away
Boy you werent my kin
You best put a bridle on bridle on that tongue
Save your breath for breathin buddy
An run - run
Whos that feller next to me
With the big house grin
Speakin from the left hand
An jumpin out his skin
Well, maybe hes my old man
The one with the wooden eyes
Youd think after all this time
Hed find a better place to hide
Cuttin up with battin eyes
I seen that paint on smile
Aw girl I could see you comin
For a country mile
You bes put a bridle on bridle on that tongue

Black Bush
I can sense it all around me
Theres somethin in this room
It aint magic nor no witchcraft
No bitch on no broom
Look see his bones are gone
He done left the grave
The grip of death it could not hold him down no
Its for him that I rave
My knees was made for kneelin
An thats just what theyll do
One of these days little girl
Ill go down an pray for you
Look see his bones are gone
Hes done all my dyin
Sometimes hopes so strong in me girl
I commence to cryin
O my brothers
These are the great dust bowl days
Just take a gander round ya
Everything in a wicked haze

Strong Man
The strong man he will kneel down
Whalst angels strip him of cloak and crown
Through bitter lips come vile breath
He is the last one to confess
There will be no pity for him
We must kill him where he stands
No there will be no mercy for him
Nor for any of his klan
Let there be no hesitation
Get a rope an make it quick
Each last breath come from his mouth
I will beat it out with a stick
Pray boy youve no reservations
The word will be carried out
He is the one who brought down the son
Let there be no doubt
There is power wonder workin power
In the blood of the lamb
There is power wonder workin power
In the precious blood of the lamb

Low Estate
To hell with boys creepin up slowly
Swingin them shovels round
Diggin up words of pleasure
From evil hollow ground
O - an heres one now girl
The devil is in his eye
Youd better start stirring up soil boy
Or hear er youll lye
Whispered to you in the dark
And I think you heard me say
Lets say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way
Ye charlies neat an charlies keen but
David hes a dandy
David hes a nice young man
He feeds the girls on candy
Whispered to you in the dark
And all that sordid gain
Lets say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kinda way

Sac Of Religion
Im a rompin dead boy on a long road
What opened up my eyes to this
Im just trying to keep em closed
Hey feller what ya got in that sac
Is it somethin fer me?
A little knowin is a dangerous thing boy
Please take it from me
cause Im gone for today boys
Gone - but never far away
She wont come - an I wont follow
Shadows lick the day
I entertained that thought so much
Itll never go away
Get outta here you yellow bellied snake
Slither your way through town
If er see you again
Put you in the ground
cause Im gone for today boys
Gone, but never far away
Ill burn lovely

Just Like Birds
Little johanna girl of my prairie
Help me fill this house with living words
Further up an further in
Let em fly from our lips
Just like birds
Just like birds
All that dark woods from pakistan
The glory the glory lodged inside
Strive to enter the narrow gate child
To the fountain that flows deep an wide
He will never leave you
My much afraid
He waits patient
In our prayers unprayed
Now stay close to me
In an amongst the trees
Ill carry your shoes child
You run an play beneath the eaves
Our faith will come by the hearin
A whisper in the leaves

For Heavens Sake
I surely knew it was a trap ye
Yet my hands they would not listen
I shoulda known your word was flap
Comin out all sweet an drippin
O so where could I go - yes but to the lord
I been to your house an see what you adore
I left there stiff - stiff as a board
Where could I go but to the lord
When will I hurt for heavens sake
When will I suffer for the sake of heaven
All my love well it is madness
Freely given to you folks with gladness
I will not live and die - no not by the sword
I am weak without the joy of the lord
Taste and see that the lord is good
Lets bend our knees like we know we should
We cant see clear - our eyes are made of wood
Taste and see boy that the lord is good

Dead Run
The devils brand is on my bones
An from inside the holy ghost groans
Sure as shootin the undertaker knows
He lays the headstones in endless rows
Ye one an all we croak like a raven
Its the dead an the dyin were cravin
Ye one an all
Follow the man tall
Hear his voice
An drop to a dead crawl
Hey boy
Look straight at the sun
To the center you make a dead run
Youre gonna halfta cut off both my hands
I got pride as big as dixie land
I wanna sit where the velvet is red yes an
Where can I lay this apple core?
I wanna drink of the blood that was shed girl
I cant breathe anymore
Ye thats right shes waltzin out the door

Hutterite Mile
on from here walkin dreams awake
i think not i think not
the sky comes king blown in every direction
and of no country
i am straw
it is no mystery
i know my way from here
iron sharpens iron
crooked wooden and peacock black
i have your feathers
slung across my back
i'm not the only one
to help you down the hill
my blue knuckles do as they will
it is no mystery
i know my way from here
it is no mystery
i know my way from here
one as precious as the other
they go with me
