  • (tom waits/k. brennan)
  • There was a murder in the red barn
  • Murder in the red barn
  • The trees are bending over
  • The cows are lying down
  • The autumns taking over
  • You can hear the buckshot hounds
  • The watchman said to reba the loon
  • Was it pale at manzanita
  • Or blind bob the raccoon?
  • Pin it on a drifter
  • They sleep beneath the bridge
  • One plays the violin
  • And sleeps inside a fridge
  • There was a murder in the red barn
  • A murder in the red barn
  • Someones crying in the woods
  • Someones burying all his clothes
  • Now slam the crank from wheezer
  • Slept outside last night and froze
  • Road kill has its seasons
  • Just like anything
  • Its possums in the autumn
  • And its farm cats in the spring
  • There was a murder in the red barn
  • A murder in the red barn
  • Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbors house
  • Or covet thy neighbors wife
  • But for some
  • Murder is the only door thru which they enter life
  • Now they surrounded the house
  • They smoke him out
  • They took him off in chains
  • The sky turned black and bruised
  • And we had months of heavy rains
  • Now the ravens nest in the rotted roof
  • Of chenoweths old place
  • And no ones asking cal
  • About that scar upon his face
  • cause theres nothin strange
  • About an axe with bloodstains in the barn
  • Theres always some killin
  • You got to do around the farm
  • A murder in the red barn
  • Murder in the red barn
  • Now the woods will never tell
  • What sleeps beneath the trees
  • Or whats buried neath a rock
  • Or hiding in the leaves
  • cause road kill has its seasons
  • Just like anything
  • Its possums in the autumn
  • And its farm cats in the spring
  • A murder in the red barn
  • A murder in the red barn
  • Now a lady cant do nothin
  • Without folks tongues waggin
  • Is this blood on the tree
  • Or is it autumns red blaze
  • When the grounds soft for diggin
  • And the rain will bring all this gloom
  • Theres nothing wrong with a lady
  • Drinking alone in her room
  • But there was a murder in the red barn
  • A murder in the red barn
