Put a dead cat     on the railroad tracks
            ()                   () 
Where the wolf-bane's blooming  by the trestle
 and get the eyeball of a rooster       and the stones from a ditch
and wash 'em down with bilge water      and say you'll never snitch

           ()                             () 
 Take the buttons from a yellow jacket  and the feathers from a buzzard
          ()                       () 
 and the blood from a bounty hunter's   cold black heart
Catch the tears of a widow      in a thimble made of glass
tell your mama and papa        they can kiss your ass

 ()                      ()  
Poison all the water  in the   wishin' well
     ()                       () 
and hang all them scarecrows from a sycamore tree
Burn down them honeymoons     put 'em in a pillow case
And wait next to the switch blades     at the amusement park for me

 ()                             ()  
Strangle all the Christmas carols     scratch out all your prayers
 ()                             () 
Tie 'em up with barbed wire       and push them down the stairs
I'll whittle you a pistol    for keeping nightmares of the blinds
Those sunsabitches always seem to sneak up from behind

 ()                       () 
Syphon all the gas    from your daddy's pickup truck
 ()                             () 
Fill up Johnny's T-Bird             I got a couple of bucks
Put a little perfume      and a ribbon in your hair
Be careful that you don't wake  up the hounds

 ()                             ()  
Tear a bolt of lightning      off the side of the sky
     ()                             () 
And throw it in a cedar chest      if you want I'll tell you why
Bring the gear shift knob      from a 49 Merc
and lay down here beside me    let me hold you in the dirt

 ()                             () 
  We're gonna tremble        tear the throat out of the night
           ()                             () 
Sink your teeth into my shoulder       dig your nails into my back
Tell that little girl to let go of my sleeve
You'll be a woman when I catch you, come, baby, fall in love with me

          ()                     ()  
With my double barrel shotgun    and a whole box of shells
       ()                     () 
We'll celebrate                 the 4th of July
We'll do a hundred miles per hour   spendin'  someone else's dough
And drive all the way to Reno    on the wrong si - de of the road
