Saint Huck
4
Born of the river,
5
Born of its ever-changing, never-changing murky water
6
Oh riverboat just rollin' along through the great great greasy city Huck standing like a Saint, upon its deck
7
If ya wanna catch a Saint,
8
then bait ya hook, let's take a walk...
9
'O come to me!, O come to me!' is what the dirty city
10
say to Huck... HUCK
11
woah-woah, woah woah!
12
woah-woah, woah woah!
13
Saint Huck! Huck!
14
Straight in the arms of the city goes Huck,
15
down the beckonin' streets of op-po-tunity
16
whistling his favorite river-song...
17
And a bad-blind nigger at the piano
18
Buts a sinister blooo lilt into that sing-a-long
19
Huck senses somthing's wrong!
20
Sirens wail in the city,
21
and lil-Ulysses turn to putty
22
and Ol Man River's got a bone to pick!
23
and our boy's hardly got a bone to suck!
24
He go, woah-woah, woah woah!
25
woah-woah, woah woah!
26
Saint Huck! Huck!
27
The mo-o-o-on, its huge cycloptic eye
28
watches the city streets contract
29
twist and cripple and crack.
30
Saint Huck goes on a dog's-leg now
31
Saint Huck goes on a dog's-leg now
32
You know the story!
33
Ya wake up one morning and you find you're a thug
34
blowing smoke rings in some dive
35
Ya fingers hot and itchin, ya cracking ya knuckles
36
Ya bull neck bristling...
37
Still Huck he ventures on whistling,
38
and Death reckons Huckleberry's time is up,
39
O woah woah woah!
40
Saint Huck!
41
O woah woah woah!
42
Saint Huck! Huck!
43
Yonder go Huck, minus pocket-watch an' wallet gone
44
Skin shrink-wraps his skeleton
45
No wonder he gets thinner, what with his cold''skinny dinners!
46
Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis, Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis
47
O you recall the song ya used to sing-a-long
48
Shifting the river-trade on that ol' steamer
49
Life is but a dream!
50
But ya traded in the Mighty ol' man River
51
for the Dirty ol' Man Latrine!
52
The brothel shift
53
The hustle''the bustle and the green-backs rustle
54
And all the sexy-cash
55
And the randy-cars
56
And the two dollar fucks
57
O o o ya outa luck, ya outa luck
58
Woah-woah-woah-woah
59
Saint Huck! Huck!
60
This is the track of deception
61
leads to the heart of despair
62
Huck whistles like he just don't care
63
but in the pocket of the jacket is a chamber
64
Lead pellets sleeps in there
65
Wake Up!
66
Now Huck whistles and he kneels
67
and he lays down there
68
See ya huck, good luck
69
A smoke ring hovers above his head
70
And the rats and the dogs and the men all come
71
and put a bullet through his eye
72
and the drip and the drip and the drip of the Mississippi cryin' And Saint Huck hears his own Mississippi just rollin' by him Woah-woah-woah-woah
73
Woah-woah-woah-woah
74
Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck!
75
Woah-woah-woah-woah
76
Woah-woah-woah-woah
77
Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck!
78
Woah-woah-woah-woah
