Ivy creepin` up the old gravestone
Ivy creepin` up the old gravestone
Willow tree swayin` like a ghost `neath the yellow moon
That big black train is moanin` in the stockyard
That big black train is moanin` in the stockyard
Devil bury daddy down deep in hell
The last time i saw him, he was dead drunk
Leavin` in a box car
I`m one mean orphan hitchin` through the badlands
I`m one mean orphan hitchin` through the badlands
With a cracked and faded picture of the man i call dad
When i find you, you`re gonna know it
You`re gonna sleep right next to your wife, man
I`m gonna teach you a lesson your kid has learned
Never go back on your word
I never knew my dad
But i still want to meet him
I`m gonna tell that man,
`there is some blood on your hands`
I never knew my dad
But i still want to meet him
I`m gonna tell that man
Whether you loved us or not
Garbage is stuff you throw out
Can`t stop coughin` and my hat`s filled with rain
Can`t stop coughin` and my hat`s filled with rain
I got hunger burnin`
Like a fever in my brain
Ma got frail and i watched her suffer
Ma got frail and i watched her suffer
Now she`s dead and her blood`s on your hands
I swore to her i`d hunt you down and bury you
Right next to her on our land
I never knew my dad
But i still want to meet him
I`m gonna show that man
Whether you loved us or not
Garbage is stuff you throw out
I`m just the son you don`t want
