Crooked Road and The Briar |
Down the crooked road a ways |
A child’s shadow hiding in the briar |
Tending to a twisted heart that’s bent and broken |
Wounded and abandoned left amongst the rotted root to rot |
Moon, crimson moon |
Rose marie’s walking down the crooked road a ways |
All aglow, her fair white skin |
Portrait of beauty, angel to many |
Hears the hush crying from the briar |
Reaches in her hand to see what’s the matter |
And is dragged through the darkness |
Beneath the lonely cypress |
The town’s beloved daughter |
Carried to her death in the turbid waters |
And set afloat downstream |
Whole town erupts, bursts into flame |
Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways |
Find old rufus there drunk and asleep |
Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter |
Can’t hold back these waves of anger |
Tie a rope around his neck |
See if he still hollers |
