Maddox Table - 10000 Maniacs Written by:Merchant Natalie The legs of maddox kitchen tables
My whole life twisted on a lathe
In a foreman's torrent My first english was Faster boy if you want your pay
Barking commands Loud and simple
We could all obey
Then I was forever pulling silvers
Rubbed the sawdust always Deeper in my eye
Varnish vapor that could linger On my skin It held tight
The whine of spinning blades Still echoes to bother my sleep at night
See that ox Stamped dead center On the letter head of the company mail Four decades a spitting image Of the animal I portrayed At maddox table a yoke was carved For my neck
Sun through the window oil spattered
And in mason jars Tricked plenty seeds thrive
The standing joke Around the shop was With my green thumb Anything'd grow My part was to laugh Show and ornery jig had Cut it at the knuckle bone
See that ox Trade mark burned Into every stick of furniture From horn to tail Four decades a spitting image Of the animal I portrayed At maddox table a yoke was carved For my neck
Was tailor made
O my Dolly was a weak Not a burdened girl
Treat her to a piece of vaudville A wintergarden moving picture show
Bemus point on July Sundays By trolley we'd go
To your benefit we's strike or bargain With the waving fist a union man Not just for Smokes spirits candy and cologne But for Automobile keys Cash in the bank And the deed
On a place called home
