[Verse 1]
F
Mr. Murphy gathered us around
F
Put us in the dying field
F
He said, "Men, it's been a bad year around here"
F
He said we should play a little game
F
To alleviate this pain
F
So he grabbed my pop by the neck
F
I guess my pop played his game
[Spoken]
F
See y'all, me myself, I was just watchin' the men scuffle their boots on the ground
F
And lookin' dog-faced, not lookin' one-another in the eye.
F
An' see, me myself, I was ducked down behind this dirt pile and
F
Not understandin' this game that was goin' on
F
until Mr. Murphy, until he caught my eye
[Chorus]
DmCDm
And if you see my ma today, down upon you, I'll bring my pain again
C
All your cattle, I will hang
DmCDm
And if you see my ma today, down upon you, I'll bring my pain again
CAmBb
All your crops, they'll go, they'll go away
[Verse 2]
F
So I ran seven miles out to Murphy's farm
F
I threw a rock at the window
F
And Isabella Murphy, she sauntered down the stairs
F
She grabbed my wrists, she said "Let's go"
F
And then she pulled me out to the dying field
F
Pushed me down and straddled me there
F
Then I cupped my hands between her crotch
F
Caught the water from her hair
[Spoken]
F
And with my hands cupped, holdin' Isabella's water, I shoved her out of the way
F
And I ran seven miles back into my hometown. I came to the town well,
F
Held my hands, cupped with Isabella's water high, opened 'em up,
F
And now this town, it knows the Murphy's hell
[Chorus]
DmCDm
And if you see my ma today, down upon you, I'll bring my pain again
C
All your cattle, I will hang
DmCDm
And if you see my ma today, down upon you, I'll bring my pain again
CAmBb
Oh, your daughter, she will, she'll learn my name
DmC
And I'll hang your cattle
DmC
And I'll bleed your pork
DmC
And I'll shave your chickens
DmC
And I'll piss on your porch
N.C.
Yeah we don't
Dm
Drink the pain
N.C.
Yeah we don't
C
Drink the pain
N.C.
Yeah, we don't
Dm
Drunk the pain
N.C.
Yeah we don't
C
Drown the pain
N.C.
Yeah we don't
Dm
Drink the pain
N.C.
Yeah we don't
C
Drink the pain
N.C.
Yeah, we don't
Dm
Drunk the pain
N.C.
Yeah we don't
C
Drown the pain
[Chorus]
DmCDm
But if you see my ma today, down upon you, I'll bring my pain again
C
All your cattle, I will hang
DmCDm
And if you see my ma today, down upon you, I'll bring my pain again
CDmC
All your children, they will, they'll come away
C
Yeah we don't
Dm
Drink the pain
Dm
Yeah we don't
C
Drink the pain
C
Yeah, we don't
Dm
Drunk the pain
Dm
Yeah we don't
C
Drown the pain
C
Yeah we don't
Dm
Drink the pain
Dm
Yeah we don't
C
Drank the pain
C
Yeah, we don't
Dm
Drunk the pain
Dm
Yeah we don't
CFm
Drown, we drown the pain
