| Down went from Pigtown, wrecks in the yard
|
| Scream out the song just finish the job
|
| Telephone poles slowly weep in the pitch
|
| The butcher’s brow sweat runs back down the ditch
|
| A great place to visit, a better place to leave
|
| False poison sumac, lies on the heave
|
| Weather veins beat over the motoring of shutters
|
| The Pigtown blues run deep down the gutters
|
| The skies are heavy Abram
|
| Block after block after block
|
| All across the marsh trees, harshly accused
|
| Pointing black fingers most broke with abuse
|
| High-tension wires, blush in the breeze
|
| Men have their conscience, while dogs have their fleas
|
| Cyclops winks as he sinks to the soil
|
| Labor in vain, labor in toil
|
| The residents succumb to the shadows and sticks
|
| The Pigtown blues run right through the bricks
|
| The skies are heavy Abram
|
| Block after block after block
|
| The skies are heavy Abram
|
| Block after block after block
|
| The skies are heavy Abram
|
| Block after block after block
|
| The skies are heavy Abram
|
| Block after block after block |
