| The Major |
|---|
| Down the street on one leg |
| A major with a mouth |
| Is standing on a corner |
| Near a train to somewhere south |
| He whistles when he speaks |
| It’s the only time he does |
| A petty two-bit thief |
| Always in and out of love |
| His eyes are bloody red |
| It’s part of his routine |
| Home for Sunday dinner |
| With a widow from beneath |
| A silver serpent tongue |
| A face meant for a mother’s love |
| A murder in his pocket |
| With no skin to cover up |
| Ride, he rides |
| Two-bit thief |
| Train down South |
| Serpent tongue |
