Tom Waits - Big Black Mariah Lyrics
Well cutting through the cane break, rattling the sillThunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops the hillBig light on the back street, hill to ever morePacking down the ladder with the hammer to the floorHere come the big black mariah, here come the big black mariahHere come the big black mariah, I seen the big black fordWell hes all boxed up on a red belle dameHunted black johnny with a blind mans caneA yellow bullet with a rag out in the windAn old blind tiger, got an old bell jimHere come the big black mariah, here come the big black mariahHere come the big black mariah, here come the big black fordSent to the skies on a benny jag blueOff to bed without his supper like a linda brides doHe got to do the story with the old widow jonesGot a wooden coat, this boy is never coming homeHere come the big black mariah, here come the big black mariahHere come the big black mariah, I seen that big black fordCut through the canebrake, oh yeahWell hes all boxed up on a red belle dameFlat blue johnny with a blind mans caneA hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the windAn old blind tiger, on a bell you winHere come the big black mariah, here come the big black mariahHere come the big black mariah, here come the big black ford
