16 shells from a 30.6 (2023 remaster) - tom waits lyrics

[verse 1]
i plugged sixteen sh*lls from a thirty*ought*six
and a black crow snuck through a hole in the sky
so i spent all my b*ttons on an old pack mule
oh, and i made me a ladder from a p*wn shop marimba
and i leaned it up against a dandelion tree
leaned it up against a dandelion tree
leaned it up against a dandelion tree

[verse 2]
i’m gonna cook them feathers on a tire iron spit
and i filled me a satchel full of old pig corn
and i beat me a billy from an old french h*rn
oh, and i kicked that mule to the top of the tree
kicked that mule to the top of the tree
blew me a hole about the size of a kick drum
and i cut me a switch from a long branch еlbow

[chorus]
i’m gonna whittle you into kindlin’
black crow, sixteen sh*lls from a thirty*ought*six
whittle you into kindlin’
black crow, sixteen shеlls from a thirty*ought*six

[verse 3]
well, i slept in the holler of a dry creek bed
and i tore out the bucket from a red corvette
tore out the bucket from a red corvette
lionel and dave and the butcher made three
oh, you got to meet me by the knuckles of the skinnybone tree
with the strings of a washburn stretched like a clothesline
oh, you know me and that mule scrambled right through the hole
me and that mule scrambled right through the hole
[chorus]
i’m gonna whittle you into kindlin’
black crow, sixteen sh*lls from a thirty*ought*six
whittle you into kindlin’
black crow, sixteen sh*lls from a thirty*ought*six

[verse 4]
now i hold him prisoner in a washburn jail
that i strapped on the back of my old kick mule
strapped it on the back of my old kick mule
bang on the strings just to drive him crazy
oh, i strum it aloud to rattle his cage
i strum it aloud just to rattle his cage
strum it aloud just to rattle his cage
strum it aloud just to rattle his cage

[chorus]
oh, i’m gonna whittle you into kindlin’
black crow, sixteen sh*lls from a thirty*ought*six
whittle you into kindlin’
black crow, sixteen sh*lls from a thirty*ought*six
