big black mariah (2023 remaster) - tom waits lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
cuttin’ through the cane break, rattling the sill
thunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops the hill
big light on the back street hill to evermore
packin’ down the ladder with the hammer to the floor

[chorus]
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black mariah
i see the big black ford

[verse 2]
well, he’s all boxed up on a red belle dame
hunted black johnny with a blind man’s cane
a yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind
an old blind tiger get an old bell, jim

[chorus]
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black ford

[verse 3]
sent to the skies on a benny jag blue
off to bed without his supper like the linda brides do
he got to do the story with the old widow jones
he got a wooden coat, this boy is never coming home
[chorus]
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black mariah
i see that big black ford

[bridge]
cut through the cane break
oh yeah, oh yeah, mhm
oh yeah, mhm

[verse 4]
well, he’s all boxed up on a red belle dame
fat blue johnny on a blind man’s cane
a hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the wind
an old blind tiger on a pair of new wings

[chorus]
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black mariah
here come the big black ford
