lyrics

I was down there, son
I saw this man with his microphone
He murdered himself
On the top of the tracks
Smoking a pipe,
He added some crack
He murdered himself
On the railroad track.

I was downtown, son
I hexed this man and his smoking dog
'Just gimme a dime
And a single coin'
Crawling aboard For a dusty coin
He was under my spell, baby
For one single coin.

Was up there, oh son
I watched the dead man, supposed to be gone
The voodoo guy with his microphone
And when the blood begins to flow
He whispered to me 'You'd better go'.

And I hooked up there, oh son
From Baton-Rouge to Texas, Austin
Oh, a few more cigs and a bottle of gin
Oh, and the man went on
The man was gone oh, with my Hedges & Benson

And I was up there oh, mum
I can tell I was about to run
When he pulled his gun
When he pulled his gun
And when the blood begins to flow
I can tell you, baby, that I ran home slow
I can tell you, thay I ran home slow.
I can tell you, that I ran home slow.
