letra de he gone done gone - al duvall
we kept in the house a big tom cat
35 pounds of trouble and fat
he’d sleep on our necks and shred our skin
smoke our tobacco and guzzle our gin
he’d drag his tail through out dinner plate
then stomp on the roof from midnight to 8
so we took him swimming with a bag of rocks
now the mice play poker in our old ice box
he done gone, he done gone as sure’s your born
the rats are fighting for our last red bean
he done gone, he done gone as sure’s you’re born
he’s a mean old mouser but he gone done gone
remember the shipyard on bottomless hill
the thought of it makes me shiver
we built all the barges for barnacle bill
and dragged them to the round river
he paid you eight hours for a twelve-hour day
he’d steal your tools, then dock your pay
but he closed up shop when the river froze
now we’re dancing for tourists in colonial clothes
he done gone, he done gone as sure’s you’re born
we’re down there slurping at the government teat
he done gone, he done gone as sure’s you’re born
he’s a mean old captain but he gone done gone
the devil took sick, was down with the flu
he said, “there’s so much work i need to do!”
so he sprang out of bed and grabbed his rod
and created man in the image of god
he showed us the earth and said, “break ‘er in!”
we were getting our kicks when the lord walked in
he patted our heads with a corny frown
we cried for our papa, but our papa skipped town
he done gone, he done gone, as sure’s you’re born
the devil left us in the hands of god
he done gone, he done gone, as sure’s you’re born
he’s a good old devil, but he gone done gone
he done gone, he done gone, as sure’s you’re born
the devil left us in the hands of god
he done gone, he done gone, as sure’s you’re born
he’s a good old devil, but he gone done gone
