Gourds - The Flat Baritone Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Form a ring and wind and twine
  • Round the ol grape vine
  • Heavy on the wire from the house
  • Salt the cow and kill the calf
  • Meet yer lonesome with a once and a half
  • Gent¹s on the east and ladies on the south
  • The solemn boy carries his silver damage
  • Sold but for, the number and the image
  • His eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
  • Empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
  • Paper yellowed from the salt and the failure
  • When he sings he slurs
  • & uses the meat of his thigh
  • T¹hold the book he wrote when he was lame
  • So wrapped up in his flat baritone
  • No castrato could woo him in from the rain
  • For he never raised his voice when his britches
  • Was spillin¹ over with that honey truck richness
  • His eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
  • Empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
  • Paper yellowed from the salt and the failure
  • Well the stylus hit the patches
  • As he spit on the splashes
  • & sought out the scratches in the vinyl
  • neath a needle topped with nickels
  • To keep the tunes a-goin
  • Cracklin, croonin & crowin
  • Multi-colored, hard-boiled & hidden
  • In the corners, with the dogs rusty remnants
  • His eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
  • Empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
  • Paper yellowed from the salt and the failure
