Murder In The Red Barn - Tom Waits
There was a murder in the red barn

Murder in the red barn

The trees are bending over
The cows are lying down

The atumn's taking over
You can hear the buckshot hounds

The watchman said to Reba the loon

Was it pale at Manzanita
Or Blind Bob the raccoon?

Pin it on a drifter

They sleep beneath the bridge

One plays the violin

And sleeps inside a fridge

There was a murder in the red barn

A murder in the red barn

Someone's crying in the woods
Someone's burying all his clothes

Now Slam the Crank from Wheezer
Slept outside last night and froze

Road kill has its seasons
Just like anything

It's possums in the autumn
And it's farm cats in the spring

There was a murder in the red barn

A murder in the red barn

Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house

Or covet thy neighbor's wife

But for some
Murder is the only door through which they enter life

Now they surrounded the house
They smoke him out
They took him off in chains
The sky turned black and bruised

And we had months of heavy rains

Now the raven's nest in the rotted roof
Of Chenoweth's old place
And no one's asking Cal
About that scar upon his face

'Cause there's nothin' strange

About an axe with bloodstains in the barn
There's always some killin'

You got to do around the farm

A murder in the red barn
Murder in the red barn

Now the woods will never tell
What sleeps beneath the trees

Or what's buried 'neath a rock

Or hiding in the leaves

'Cause road kill has it's seasons
Just like anything

It's possums in the atumn
And it's farm cats in the spring

A murder in the red barn

A murder in the red barn

Now a lady can't do ntohin'
Without folks' tongues waggin'

Is this blood on the tree
Or is it autumn's red blaze

When the ground's soft for diggin'
And the rain will bring all this gloom

There's nothing wrong with a lady

Drinking alone in her room

But there was a murder in the red barn

A murder in the red barn
