Rattle in a Boxcar

Rattle in a boxcar, a spark on the rail
Hollow in the brick wall and the hound found no trail
Get the shovel, Lonnie's under the tree
Whittling a root to keep his bones a mystery
He'll make a fine mystery

Swimming in a graveyard in a mahogany coat
Scandal in the water and the poison in the joke
Get the metal from Old Junk Iron Jaw
And leave the man alone to make some sense of it all
To make believe in it all
To make believe it at all

Moving in the mansion to burn down the block
Paying off a preacher but they all died of shock
Get the neighbor, I heard a voice in the smoke
Laughing as he spoke he said that whiskey ain't a joke
The whiskey ain't no joke

Rattle in a boxcar, a spark on the rail
Hollow in the brick wall and the hound found no trail
Get the ladder, he's buried up in the tree
Chasing down the hatchet 'til the sun is underneath
Until the sky is underneath
Until the sky is underneath
