Axman |
They say the axman’s coming |
In a long black car |
They said the axman’s coming |
He plays a mean guitar |
Well he slipped across the border |
With a hatchet in his hand |
They said who’s that stranger |
The one they call the axman |
You got Duane and Stevie Ray |
All brothers of the blade |
Jimi James and RJ |
All brothers of the blade |
Now when he goes from town to town |
He picks 'em up and lays 'em down |
People come from miles around |
Just to dig that crazy sound |
I heard a guitar wail |
Until the break of dawn |
You know the axman was here |
Oh but now he’s gone |
You got T Bone and Link Wray |
All brothers of the blade |
Then there’s Django and Elmore James |
All brothers of the blade |
Now when he goes from town to town |
He picks 'em up and lays 'em down |
People coming from miles around |
Just to dig that crazy sound |
Play so low, so sweet |
Bring a tear to your eye |
Chills run down to your feet |
Make a grown man cry |
One-eyed jacks, King with the axe |
Like Albert or Freddy |
One-eyed jacks, King with the axe |
And of course BB was born ready |
Now when he goes from town to town |
He picks 'em up and lays 'em down |
People coming from miles around |
Just to dig that crazy sound |
