Big Black Mariah - Tom Waits

    Well cutting through the cane break, rattling the sill
    Thunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops the hill
    Big light on the back street, hill to ever more
    Packing down the ladder with the hammer to the floor
    Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
    Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen the big black Ford

    Well he's all boxed up on a red belle dame
    Hunted Black Johnny with a blind man's cane
    A yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind
    An old blind tiger, got an old bell Jim
    Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
    Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big black Ford

    Sent to the skies on a Benny Jag Blue
    Off to bed without his supper like a Linda brides do
    He got to do the story with the old widow Jones
    Got a wooden coat, this boy is never coming home
    Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
    Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen that big black Ford
    Cut through the canebrake, oh yeah

    Well he's all boxed up on a red belle dame
    Flat Blue Johnny with a blind man's cane
    A hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the wind
    An old blind tiger, on a bell you win
    Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah
    Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big black Ford
