Saltpeter
They say they found the gun, but I know they never did
I seen him jump up, scatter like rabbits
Just a dirty bag of bones on the habit
Then came the lightning, and I seen inside it
All the true black couldn't hide it
And I heard the feet pound
And I heard the heart pound
And I heard the hammer pound
Down
They say they found the gun, but I know they never did
Stitches crossed up like ties and rails
Fish belly white across the scales
And I seen the ankle in the headlight
And I seen the barrel glowing dead white
And I had a long block
And I heard a slow cock
And I heard a clock tick
Tock
They say they found the gun, but I know they never did
I seen him jump up, scatter like rabbits
Just a dirty bag of bones on the habit
Then came the lightning, and I seen inside it
All the true black couldn't hide it
And I heard the feet pound
And I heard the heart pound
And I heard the hammer pound
Down
They say they found the gun, but I know they never did
Stitches crossed up like ties and rails
Fish belly white across the scales
And I seen the ankle in the headlight
And I seen the barrel glowing dead white
And I had a long block
And I heard a slow cock
And I heard a clock tick
Tock
They say they found the gun, but I know they never did
