Diamondback |
| Something broke through the brindled soil |
| Rattling the grass |
| Spittin' like coal |
| My spade came down across his spine |
| A terrible fear flew across his eyes |
| I said we both have lives that we are owed |
| You can own an acre, but not what it grows |
| I gave no heed when I got in |
| Had bread and tea and then the beast got skinned |
| Diamond skin on a hickory post |
| Blowin' like a curse in the knee high rows |
| I never in my life had seen |
| The kind of rain we had that spring |
| A flood washed up every rainbow snake |
| And I was soon begging them to let me stay |
| They gave no heed when I got in |
| They said ''You can hunt hares in our garden |
| You can hunt hares in our garden'' |
| Who will love a loveless thing |
| Betrayed by God, exiled by beast |
| I can hear you in the floorboards deep in the night |
| You could have freed me and redeemed your life |
