about

A demonic Western. I like this song a lot. When we recorded it Aaron Peacey asked me if he should play like Willie Nelson. I told him to go right ahead.

lyrics

Black Heart

Crows as black as midnight
Eyes as black as coal
Black snake lies in waiting
There's a blindness in my soul

I've seen you in the distance
And I've often thought of you
Now my time is coming
And I know just what I have to do

I've been up in Panola County
And I've often thought of you
I've been listening to the fife and drum
Now I know all the lies I've ever told are true

I said goodbye to old Stetson Brown
I broke both his arms and I shot him down
Now I move from town to town
I've finally laid my burden down

ALl the little girls they'll be dancing
And the air will smell so sweet
And the liquor will flow like lightening
In the rising summer heat

Turn the church into a barrelhouse
Paint the town as red as blood
I'm the father of 14 children
And I'll live untill I've drunk enough

I rose up through the mud of Hell
I'll have your heart and I'll take your soul
I can see deep inside your sunken eyes
As deep and black as a wishing well

The sky's been dark and stormy
For a year or two
This city's just a desert
For the likes of me and you

Well it's one down and it's two to go
There's nothing in this world to keep
My heart it rocks like a stormy sea
And the Devil can have my soul to keep

I'll take you deep into my domain
I'll give you all you need
I'll give you everything you want
For you my heart it will always bleed

Yes, I'll take you down to the pit of Hell
I'll treat you fine, I'll treat you well
You'll be my queen forevermore
And my black heart it will cry for you
