Big black mariah lyrics

Artist  : Tom waits 
Song : Big black mariah
 
Well cutting through the cane break, rattling the
sill
Thunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops
the hill
Big light on the back street, hill to ever more
Packing down the ladder with the hammer to the
floor
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big
black mariah
Here come the big black mariah, I seen the big
black ford

Well he’s all boxed up on a red belle dame
Hunted black johnny with a blind man’s cane
A yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind
An old blind tiger, got an old bell jim
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big
black mariah
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big
black ford

Sent to the skies on a benny jag blue
Off to bed without his supper like a linda brides
do
He got to do the story with the old widow jones
Got a wooden coat, this boy is never coming home
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big
black mariah
Here come the big black mariah, I seen that big
black ford
Cut through the canebrake, oh yeah

Well he’s all boxed up on a red belle dame
Flat blue johnny with a blind man’s cane
A hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the
wind
An old blind tiger, on a bell you win
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big
black mariah
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big
black ford
