Maw and paw they lived right here
And he worked a mile away

They tried to live life courteously
And let the sunlight in each day
And they always shone the window pane
In case a traveller planned to stay

And when the road forked right or left
They took care to look both ways
Me and them we lived right here
Ten miles outside of town

And all the world seemed fine and good
Til they burnеd our farmhouse down
And then the words my brothеr spoke
Musta split my head in two, he said {?} boy

All your days you’ll feel the weight
Of your illustrious tattoo
My folks were proud and simple
What might seem natural to you

Try to live inside the law
You’ll live to pay your dues
From a life borne pure and truthful
To hard beds and worn out shoes

They got my {?} kid running round the farm
And it’s me with a dark tattoo
Brother Abe he’s no drunkard
Though by God he’s {?} the time

He loved my maw and all our kin
And they matched his faith in kind
They held his name in reverence
As the one who knew and cared

And when I tried to win their grace
They only stood and stared
All my youth I felt a loneliness
Like a shutter from behind

And I never seem to find the words
To speak what’s on my mind
I gotta call my love in darkness
And I worship with my fist

I curse my man, my God and faith
Desperate for the kiss
And so I took me to wandering far and wide
Just a-looking for something to fight

Aggravating each and everything
That crossed my might
From the wh#rehouse to the graveyard
My backdoors and my squalid {air}

My mother and my misery
Became a place of prayer
Brother Abe {?} a bible reading
While travelling about the south

It was outside the local gospel meeting
That I caught him hanging out
That Louisiana night it seemed so cold
That only the strong would survive

Mama, it ain’t my fault if I {want} out
{?} left the town alive
They’re gonna say that a drunkard killed him
As he knelt there so devout

He had nothing but his words and names
And the corners of his mouth
They’re gonna weep after the memory
And nail it up upon the {stick}

Good God, they take me for a midnight sign
To chill the chiller to the quick, dontcha know now
{let} the book of Abe gonna get him
Rub some of that nasty, greasy off on me

If you know what I mean
Like I tell you people
My maw and paw they lived right here
And he worked a mile away

They tried to live life a-courteously
And let the sunlight in each day, yeah
Always shone the window pane
In case a traveller planned to stay

And when the road forked right or left
They took care to look both ways
Yes they did, yes they did now
