I hung my head and cried away
with a burden that Ι can’t bear
Save me, I stumbled and fell today
Got a heart that I won't share
And where do all these highways go
Can you venture a guess?
In this evil minstrel show
(I’ve been) lifted at Black River’s chest
I’ll build a road, a stairway
to escape the chain gang
But no breeze’s gonna take away
The things that are left undone...left undone
I looked through my window pane
At the end of the ledge
So throw my ashes straight to hell
If you can hear my pledge
I went down to praying grounds
I´ve been crawlin' on the rye
I don’t need to be forgiven
And I can’t sell no alibi
Like a smokestack silver linin’
Hidden in the dark clouds
When the strike comes a-shinin’ down
Off the skies, on the top of mound…on the top of mound
I’ll build a road, a stairway
To escape the chain gang
Black River will take away
The things that are left undone...left undone

Flamin' Rose

The night came softly, and the stardust glows
Now the hobo jungle looks like a soul that flows
A song of wasted words upon a trembling sound
And loss marks our souls onto the burnin’ ground
Oh love and grace are like a flaming rose
We chose our journey long before we were born
I have this old time feelin’ when ghosts are on the ceiling
Dancing with my flaming rose

" It is an esoteric elegy of sentiments that draws us "down" with them, and signifies that the only catharsis, the one way road for Dustbowl comes from the earth…”

"Their music has something charming, magical"
