Ballad Of A Deadman |
| Oh honey take me out I’m a deadman |
| Oh baby bake me something sweet |
| Oh honey take me out I’m a deadman |
| Oh baby give me bread to eat |
| There are places in the damp Northwest where |
| The bodies lie down head to feet |
| There were losses in the California sunshine |
| Tell you stories that you can’t repeat |
| In the winter when the valley’s flooded |
| Those were times where the rooms were cheap |
| The summer dirt lines the corner’s of your pockets |
| I’m still buried there ten feet deep |
| Papa don’t place this curse on me |
| Heaven knows I can’t use it |
| Papa don’t place this stone on me |
| Mama there’s no future in it |
| We travel on the back roads lightly |
| Through Castle City and through the hills beyond |
| Me and Joan on the Sacramento |
| Me and Joan this is where we’re from |
| Oh honey take me out I’m a deadman |
| Oh baby bake me something sweet |
| Oh honey take me out I’m a deadman |
| Oh baby give me bread to eat |
| Papa don’t place this curse on me |
| Heaven knows I can’t use it |
| Papa don’t place this curse on me |
| Mama there’s no future in it |
| Oh honey take me out I’m a deadman |
| Oh baby bake me something sweet |
| Oh honey take me out I’m a deadman |
| Oh baby give me bread to eat |
| Oh honey where’s the colours of the springtime? |
| The pale green of an organdy dress |
| Her shadow grows in the California sunshine |
| But nothing else in the south south-west |
