| Tell the hour: go take another, | |
| Or go down, Moses, without a fuss | |
| Give in to the lawless water | |
| And send a later boat for us | |
| Sticks and stones, blood, ash, and bone, | |
| I shake the tree, swim out alone: | |
| Turning over the dark Missouri | |
| Now that every new leaf I had is gone | |
| The moon's near empty, a swinging saber, | |
| Keeping every prayer at bay, | |
| At the throat of love for ransom | |
| From the dull approaching day; | |
| There is no lord that rides this boarder, | |
| No fences stretch this far to show | |
| How times will side against another, | |
| As one arrives and others go | |
| (Chorus) | |
| Whores are dressed in fire and feathers | |
| On the beach, sit in a row | |
| Climb the banks through scrub and tender, | |
| Disappear where rabbits go. | |
| They had nothing that I needed | |
| But I gave them all I had, | |
| Just to share the dirt between them | |
| As they waited, smoked and laughed | |
| (Chorus) |
