Em Don't go into that barn, yeahAm Don't go into that barn, yeah [Verse 1]Am Black cellophane sky at midnight Big blue moon with three gold rings I called Champion to the window And I pointed up above the treesDm That's when I heard my name in a scream Coming from the woods out there I let my dog run off of the chain I locked my door real good with a chair [Chorus]Em Don't go into that barn, yeahAm Don't go into that barn, yeah [Verse 2]Am Everett Lee broke loose again It's worse than the time before 'Cause he's high on potato and tulip wine Fermented in the muddy rain, of courseDm A drunken wail, a drunken train Blew through the birdless treesAm Oh, you're alone alright, you're alone alright How did I know? How did I know? [Chorus]Em Don't go into that barn, yeahAm I said, don't go into that barn, yeah [Verse 3]Am An old black tree scratching up the sky With bony, claw-like fingers A rusty black rake digging up the turnips Of a muddy cold grey skyContinúa después del anuncioDm Shiny tooth talons coiled for grabbing a stranger happening byAm And the day went home early And the sun sank down into the muck of a deep, dead sky [Chorus]Em Don't go into that barn, yeahDm I said, don't go into that barn, yeah [Verse 4]Am Back since Saginaw Calinda was born It's been cotton, soybeans, tobacco, and corn Behind the porticoed house of a long-dead farm They found the falling down timbers of a spooky old barnDm Out there like a slave ship upside down Wrecked beneath the waves of grainAm When the river is low, they find old bones And when they plow they always dig up chains [Chorus]Em Don't go into that barn, yeahAm I said, don't go into that barn, yeah [Bridge]Am Did you bury your fire? Yes sir Did you cover your tracks? Yes sir Did you bring your knife? Yes sir Did they see your face? No sirDm Did the moon see you? No sir Did you go 'cross the river? Yes sirAm Did you fix your rake? Yes sir Did you stay downwind? Yes sirEm Did you hide your gun? Yes sir Did you smuggle your rum? Yes sirAm How did I know? How did I know? How did I know? [Otro]Em Don't go into that barn, yeahAm I said, don't go into that barn, yeahDm Don't forget that I warned yaEm I said, don't go into that barn, yeahAm Don't go into that barn, yeahEm I said, don't go into that barn, yea [Coda]Am No shirt, no coat Take me on a flat boat Dover down to Covington Covington to Louisville Louisville to Henderson Henderson to Smithland Smithland to Memphis Memphis down to Vicksburg Vicksburg to Natchez Going down to Natchez Put me on a flat boat Dover down to Covington Covington to Louisville Louisville to Henderson Henderson to Smithland Smithland to Memphis Memphis down to Vicksburg Vicksburg to Natchez (fade)
