outside there's a box car waiting
outside the family store
out by the fire breathing
outside we wait 'til face turns blue
i know the nerve is barking
i know the dirty bed hangs
out by the box car waiting
take me away to nowhere plains
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
big shake on the box car moving
big shake to the land that's falling down
is the wind makes a palm stop blowing
a big big stone fall and break my crown
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait
Dire Wolf
In the timbers to Fennario, the wolves are running round,
The winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.
I sat down to my supper, 'twas a bottle of red whisky,
I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.
When I awoke, the Dire Wolf, six hundred pounds of sin,
Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in".
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.
The Wolf came in, I got my cards, we sat down for a game.
I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades, but the cards were all the same.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.
In the backwash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire,
The Dire Wolf collects his dues, while the boys sing 'round the fire.
Don't murder me, I beg of you, don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.
No, no, no don't murder me. I beg of you,
Don't murder me. Please, don't murder me.
