letra de cain and abel - druick & lorange

maw and paw they lived right here
and he worked a mile away
they tried to live life courteously
and let the sunlight in each day
and they always shone the window pane
in case a traveller planned to stay
and when the road forked right or left
they took care to look both ways

me and them we lived right here
ten miles outside of town
and all the world seemed fine and good
til they burnеd our farmhouse down
and then the words my brothеr spoke
musta split my head in two, he said [?] boy
all your days you’ll feel the weight
of your ill-strious tattoo
my folks were proud and simple
what might seem natural to you
try to live inside the law
you’ll live to pay your dues
from a life borne pure and truthful
to hard beds and worn out shoes
they got my [?] kid running round the farm
and it’s me with a dark tattoo

brother abe he’s no drunkard
though by god he’s [?] the time
he loved my maw and all our kin
and they matched his faith in kind
they held his name in reverence
as the one who knew and cared
and when i tried to win their grace
they only stood and stared

all my youth i felt a loneliness
like a shutter from behind
and i never seem to find the words
to speak what’s on my mind
i gotta call my love in darkness
and i worship with my fist
i curse my man, my god and faith
desperate for the kiss
and so i took me to wandering far and wide
just a-looking for something to fight
aggravating each and every
thing that crossed my might
from the wh0rehouse to the graveyard
my backdoors and my squalid [air]
my mother and my misery
became a place of prayer

brother abe [?] a bible reading
while travelling about the south
it was outside the local gospel meeting
that i caught him hanging out
that louisiana night it seemed so cold
that only the strong would survive
mama, it ain’t my fault if i [want] out
[?] left the town alive

they’re gonna say that a drunkard k!lled him
as he knelt there so devout
he had nothing but his words and names
and the corners of his mouth
they’re gonna weep after the memory
and nail it up upon the [stick]
good god, they take me for a midnight sign
to chill the chiller to the quick, dontcha know now
[let] the book of abe gonna get him
rub some of that nasty, greasy off on me
if you know what i mean

like i tell you people
my maw and paw they lived right here
and he worked a mile away
they tried to live life a-courteously
and let the sunlight in each day, yeah
always shone the window pane
in case a traveller planned to stay
and when the road forked right or left
they took care to look both ways
yes they did, yes they did now
