Black Eyed Man - Michael Timmins
    Black eyed man he took the blame

    for the poisoning of the well
    They found this shoes by the pulley
    They found his fingerprints all over the pail

    Black eyed man I'm warning you
    the people around here
    will not be fooled by a simple line or two

    Yes your honour I do solemnly swear
    that I saw him late last night,
    dancing barefoot, bathed in light
    and reaching for every star in sight
    Yes I did go to him,
    but completely against my will
    and yes he did things to me
    things of which I dream of still

    Black eyed man I'm warning you
    what I say is what you'll do
    to hell with love and truth

    I always meant to say I'm sorry
    for all the things I said and did
    'Sorry,' I feel better now, do you?
    But you promised me the sky
    and fell short a star or two
    What else did you expect me to do?

    Black eyed man he took the blame
    for the poisoning of the well
    They found his shoes by the pulley
    They found his fingerprints all over the pail
    With a noose around his neck,
    cicadas trilling everywhere,
    he says to the people gathered round him,
    'it ain't the water that's not right around here'

    Black eyed man I'm thirsty dear
    be a love and bring some water here
    drawn fresh from the well
