Widowmaker

clways watching clways waiting The Widowmaker overhangs the house The cows got sick in autumn The pigs died out in June While I was that highroller That vagabond - what a wretched October- Oh the day the tree won Mother tornado tore through the town In the dead air of anticipation I fixed myself a drink of something brown cnd no one knew where to look No one knew where to look No one knew where to look Except at their God Dear God Dear God! What a wretched October I was cryin' Children with smoke mocked faces flood the streets cnd I saw clbert from the drug shop Lighting his big cigar His word is bond - then with a bang The widowmaker she fell Tree damn near split the house in twain I fell down in tandem Down to my knees, I cursed the wind I cursed the trees I cursed my luck I cursed the rain cnd no one knew where to look No one knew where to look No one knew where to look Except for their God His God Your God My God Dear God clways watching clways laughing clways waiting for you Widowmaker.
