Michelle Shocked - Black Widow lyrics
Michelle Shocked (Poly Gram Songs, Inc) Time is red Time is deadly Time under glass Time will tell Time will tell The tale of the widow Who walks her web Mourning the night Mourning her dead Mourning her dead Did you lose him to a broom Trapped in a corner of the room Or was it under the foot Of the marching black boot Marching black boot Is it the lonelines of the night That makes you reach out and bite The unawakened flesh You lady in distress You poor suffering Murderess Em D C B7 The L & N don't stop here anymore Jean Ritchie (Geordie Music Pub. Co) Em D Em When I was a curly-headed baby D Em My daddy set me down on his knee D Em Saying ''Son you go to school, you learn your letters C D Em Don't you be no dusty miner, boy like me'' D Em I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler D Em Where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door D Em But now they stand in a rusty row of all empties C D Em Because the L & N don't stop here anymore I used to think my father was a black man With scrip enough to buy the company store But now he goes to town with empty pockets And his face is as white as the February snow I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler Where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door But now they stand in a rusty road of all empties Because the L & N don't stop here anymore Never thought I'd live to lean to love the coaldust Never thought I'd pray to hear those temples roar But God I wish the grass would turn to money And then them greenbacks would fill my pockets once more I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler Where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door But now they stand in a rusty road of all empties Because the L & N don't stop here anymore Last night I dreamed I went down to the office To get my payday like I done before But them old kudzu vines was covering the doorway And there was leaves and grass growing up through the floor I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler Where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door But now they stand in a rusty road of all empties Because the L & N don't stop here anymore |
