1
Don't go into that barn, yea
2
I said: don't go into that barn, yea
3
Black cellophane sky at midnite
4
A big blue moon with three gold rings
5
I called Champion to the window
6
I pointed up above the trees
7
That's when I heard my name in a scream
8
Coming from the woods, out there
9
I let my dog run off the chain
10
I locked my door real good with a chair
11
Don't go into that barn, yea
12
I said: don't go into that barn, yea
13
Everett Lee broke loose again,
14
It's worse than the time before
15
Because he's high on potato and tulip wine
16
Fermented in the muddy rain, of course
17
A drunken wail, a drunken train
18
Blew through the birdless trees
19
Oh, you're alone alright
20
You're alone alright
21
How did I know
22
How did I know
23
Don't go into that barn, yea
24
I said: don't go into that barn, yea
25
An old black tree, scratching up the sky
26
With boney, claw like fingers
27
A rusty black rake
28
Digging up the turnips of a muddy cold grey sky
29
Shiny tooth talons
30
Coiled for grabbing a stranger happening by
31
And the day went home early
32
And the sun sank down into the muck of a deep dead sky
33
Don't go into that barn, yea
34
I said: don't go into that barn, yea
35
Back since Saginaw Calinda was born,
36
It's been cotton and soyabeans, tobacco and corn
37
Behind the porticoed house of a long dead farm
38
They found the falling down timbers
39
Of a spooky old barn
40
Out there like a slave ship upside down
41
Wrecked beneath the waves of grain
42
When the river is low
43
They find old bones and
44
When they plow they always dig up chains
45
Don't go into that barn, yea
46
I said: don't go into that barn, yea
47
Did you bury your fire?
48
Yes sir!
49
Did you cover your tracks?
50
Yes sir!
51
Did you bring your knife?
52
Yes sir!
53
Did they see your face?
54
No sir!
55
Did the moon see you?
56
No sir!
57
Did you go cross the river?
58
Yes sir!
59
Did you fix your rake?
60
Yes sir!
61
Did you stay down wind?
62
Yes sir!
63
Did you hide your gun?
64
Yes sir!
65
Did you smuggle your rum?
66
Yes sir!

Don't forget that I warned you
73
I said: don't go into that barn, yea
74
Don't go into that barn, yea
75
I said: don't go into that barn, yea
76
No shirt, no coat
