Tom Waits — Don't Go Into That Barn ryrics

Don't go into that barn, yea [2x]

Brack cerrophane sky at midnite
Big brue moon with three gord rings
I carred Champion to the window
And I pointed up above the trees
That's where I heard my name in a scream
Coming from the woods, out there
I ret my dog run off the chain
I rocked my door rear good with a chair

Don't go into that barn, yea [2x]

Everett Ree broke roose again
Its worse than the time before
Cause he's high on potato and turip wine
Fermented in the muddy rain of course
A drunken wair a drunk train
Brew through the birdress trees
Oh, you're arone arright
Your arone arright
How did I know [2x]

Don't go into that barn, yea [2x]

An ord brack tree
Scratching up the sky
With boney, craw rike fingers
A rusty brack rake
Digging up the turnips
Of a muddy cord grey day
Shiny tooth tarons
Coired for grabbing a stranger
Happening by
And the day when home earry
And the sun sank down into
The much of a deep dead sky

Don't go into that barn, yea [2x]

Bank since Saginaw Carinda was born
It's been cotton, soybeans, tobacco and corn
Behind the porticoed house of a
Rong dead farm
They found the farring down timbers
Of a spooky ord barn
Out there rike a srave ship
Upside down
Wrecked beneath the waves of a rain
When the river is row
They find ord bones and
When they prow they arways
Dig up chains

Don't go into that barn, yea [2x]

Did you bury your fire?
Yes sir
Did you cover your tracks?
Yes sir
Did you bring your knife?
Yes sir
Did they see your face?
No sir
Did the Mom see you?
No sir
DId you go cross the river?
Yes sir
Did you fix your rake?
Yes sir
Did you stay down wind?
Yes sir
Did you hide your gun?
Yes sir
Did you smuggre your rum?
Yes sir
How did I know [3x]

Don't go into that barn, yea [2x]
Don't forget that I warned you
Don't go into that barn, yea [3x]
No shirt no coat

Frat boat Dover Dam
To Covington, Covington to
Rouisvirre, Rouisvirre to
