Snake Mountain Blues
Mr ten dollar man
Let me tell where you're bound
Drink your green liquor, lord
You'll roll to the ground
But you come around here
With your money in your hand
Taste of my woman
Well, you die where you stand
Snake Mountain's gonna crumble, lord
And fall from the sky
Before that woman of mine
Stops tellin' her lies
If I'd die, lord, she'd weep
She'd weep and she'd mourn
Soon as I was buried
Forget I'd been born
Snake Mountain Blues
Have got me down low
I could die in the morning
But no one would know
My woman come around
My body she'd find
Go down to Dundee
And have her a time
Well a black skin woman
Won't do you no harm
Slow start moaning
She don't moan for long
But a yellow headed woman
Brings nothing but pain
Takes all you give her
Leaves only shame
My daddy, lord, he rides
On a long holy train
First winds of winter
I'll see him again
And it's farewell to this
Yellow headed misery I've known
Snake Mountain's calling
Calling me home
Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
Papa was a rollin' stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
And when he died
All that he left was alone
Snake Mountain Blues
Got me down low
I could die in the morning
But no one would know
My woman come around
My body she'd find
Go down to Dundee
And have her a time

Lonely to Lonesome

Lonely to Lonesome
From lonely to lonesome is a dark stretch of time
Up in solitary for a partnerin’ crime
It’s a distance you measure by the walls that you climb
From lonely to lonesome takes a stark turn of mind
If you don’t know the difference, you ain’t known either one
Not the lonely that hits you when you’ve lost your someone
Nor the lonesome that follows if you don’t come undone
‘Cause one to the other there’s a gauntlet to run
If you see me out smilin', then the lonesome’s kicked in
Maybe lonely got drowned-out by whiskey and gin
Or just a lonesome delusion’s clouded my head again
Either way, I’m surviving, should you ask how I’ve been
From lonely to lonesome is a dark stretch of time
Up in solitary for a partnerin’ crime
It’s a distance you measure by the walls that you climb
From lonely to lonesome takes a stark turn of mind
I’m a lone semantician, you might be thinkin' by now
Why should I parse definitions in a song, anyhow?
Because you find it a joke, dear, to see me furrow my brow
When lonely to lonesome is all the range you allow
From lonely to lonesome is a dark stretch of time
Up in solitary for a partnerin’ crime
It’s a distance you measure by the walls that you climb
From lonely to lonesome takes a stark turn of mind
From lonely to lonesome is a dark stretch of time

Leaving Me Incrementally

Leaving Me Incrementally
Your leaving me incrementally
Has turned me upside-down
You come to take a few small things
Back to your side of town
Lord knows this weren’t no sudden split
I’ll likely come around
But your leavin me incrementally
Has slowly dragged me down
Losing you’s blown all out of proportion
What little feel I’ve left for Love and Fortune
Our house is less a home by micro measures
As you drop by to loot our worldly treasures
Three-eighths of the time I feign not knowin
The quarter of my soul that’s glad you’re goin
Of heartache’s pain I’ve yet but felt a fraction
This lonliness is all slo-mo reaction
Your leaving me incrementally
Has turned me upside-down
You come to take a few small things
Back to your side of town
Lord knows this weren’t no sudden split
I’ll likely come around
But your leavin me incrementally
Has slowly dragged me down
