Murder In The Red Barn



Tom Waits - Murder In The Red Barn - Текст песни

  • текст
There was a murder in the red barn 
Murder in the red barn 

The trees are bending over 
The cows are lying down 
The autumn's taking over 
You can hear the buckshot hounds 
The watchman said to Reba the loon 
Was it pale at Manzanita 
Was it Blind Bob the coon? 
Pin it on a drifter 
They sleep beneath the bridge 
One plays the violin 
And sleeps inside a fridge 
There was a murder in the red barn 
A murder in the red barn 

Someone's crying in the woods 
Someone's burying all his clothes 
Now Slam the Crank from Wheezer 
Slept outside last night and froze 
Road kill has its seasons 
Just like anything 
There's possums in the autumn 
And there's farm cats in the spring 
There was a murder in the red barn 
A murder in the red barn 

Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house 
Or covet thy neighbor's wife 
But for some murder is the only door 
Through which they enter life 

Now they surrounded the house 
They smoked him out and
Took him off in chains 
The sky turned black and bruised 
And we had months of heavy rains 
Now the ravens nest in the rotted roof 
Of Chenoweth's old place 
And no one's asking Cal 
About that scar upon his face 
'Cause there's nothin' strange 
About an axe with bloodstains in the barn
There's always some killin' 
You got to do around the farm 
A murder in the red barn 
Murder in the red barn 

Now the woods will never tell 
What sleeps beneath the trees 
Or what's buried 'neath a rock 
Or hiding in the leaves 
'Cause road kill has its seasons 
Just like anything 
It's possums in the autumn 
And it's farm cats in the spring 
A murder in the red barn 
A murder in the red barn 

Now a lady can't do nothin' 
Without folks' tongues waggin' 
Is that blood on the tree 
Or is it autumn's red blaze 
When the ground's soft for diggin' 
And the rain will bring all this gloom 
There's nothing wrong with a lady 
Drinkin' alone in her room 
But there was a murder in the red barn 
A murder in the red barn 

There was a murder in the red barn
A murder in the red barn

There was a murder in the red barn
A murder in the red barn
