Here are some lyrics from some of the songs on Son of Obituary.
HEY PACKY
I been shufflin' a lonesome old trail. I'm gonna send a letter to my dog, in the mail. Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again!
My legs tired, my feet they're a-draggin' but I ain't a-stoppin' till I see his tail waggin' Hey Packy! I'm comin' back again.
Well I heard the proverb tell that a dog is a man's best friend. Hey, there's no more detainin' I'm walkin' it's rainin' Packy's waitin' at the rainbow's end.
The clouds drift n' the world is so wide that a fella feels lucky with a dog by his side. Hey Packy! I'm comin' back again!
A two bit mutt ain't worth a dollar but he'll be glad to see ya n' he'll come when you holler Hey Packy! I'm comin' back again!
Yes I heard the proverb tell that a dog is a man's best friend. There ain't no more detainin' I'm walkin' it's rainin' n' my dog'll be a-waitin', waitin' at the rainbow's end!
Some folks work hard, searchin' for somethin' they could see so plain in their dog's tail thumpin' Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again...
Folks wonderin' why they was born ain't never been a-swimmin' with their dog in the mornin' Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.
Hey Packy! I'm comin' home! I'm gonna scratch yer head n' feed you a bone! Hey Packy! I'm comin' back again!
COLD CATECHISM WEDNESDAY
Cold Catechism Wednesday, fall the leaves of Autumn on the ground, the sky is turning gray. Wrap your schoolboy shoes in rubber, I think it's going to rain. Yes, it's going to rain.
Cold Catechism Wednesday, down the hall fat Salvador goes by in bored corduroy, hear his brand new sandal shoes' echo rise and fall and we're all in awe.
Cold Catechism Wednesday, sing the sisters of Saint Pascal's angels in the church abode. Dress up in your Sunday best suit, you're going to see the Lord. Yes, you're going to see...
ROLL ME OVER JEHOVAH
My best friend stabbed my in the back once, said "Boy, it's good for you to feel an honest end to this allowance of saying things just aren't real."
My drunk compadre in the Kettle... Done hitched my wagon to a star but if it wasn't for Gene Autry, I'd have never picked up a guitar.
Well, roll me over once Jehovah, Honest Injun hit the dirt. Pray tell when it'll be all over; The truth hurts.
Just sitting in a cozy corner, I being you, you being me... But for the masks and chains that bind us Lawd knows, the truth id set us free.
Roll me over once Jehovah, An honest injun hit the dirt. Pray tell when it'll be all over; The truth hurts.
Well, if we could just sit and discuss things, it just might settle up the score. But you're so shitty and disgusting, I ain't gonna talk to you no more.
Yeah, roll me over once, Jehovah. Honest Injun hit the dirt. Pray tell when it'll be all over; The truth hurts.
WAITING IS
Wise man believing that he knows the way. The fool pretending that he's lost. The loser waiting for a brighter day. The Winner crying at the cost.
A mocker's mocking with a laughing face. A child is playing with a toy. The Earth is spinning full of time in space, A pregnant lady, boy o boy...
The World is waiting for the sunrise and I don't really know a thing... Come to me where we can close our eyes, I've got some pretty songs to sing.
A mother is praying for her dreadful dream, Her son's still saying it isn't so... Two sisters fighting in a tearful scene, The father, silently, he knows.
The Congregation is a-waiting, Monseignor don't know what to pray... Come to me where we can just hold hands awhile Before the time doth pass away.
A pretty girl is passing down the lane. The sidewalk sparkles underneath. A simple song is singing so sweet and plain. My smiling lips don't show my teeth.
Some stranger's thinkin' that he knows a face. An old lover is playin' it real coy. The clock is ticking full of time and space. A bouncing baby, boy oh boy! |
