Lyrics

	作词 : Brennan, Waits
	(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)
	There was a murder in the red barn
	Murder in the red barn

	The trees are bending over
	The cows are lying down
	The atumn's taking over
	You can hear the buckshot hounds
	The watchman said to Reba the loon
	Was it pale at Manzanita
	Or Blind Bob the raccoon?
	Pin it on a drifter
	They sleep beneath the bridge
	One plays the violin
	And sleeps inside a fridge
	There was a murder in the red barn
	A murder in the red barn

	Someone's crying in the woods
	Someone's burying all his clothes
	Now Slam the Crank from Wheezer
	Slept outside last night and froze
	Road kill has its seasons
	Just like anything
	It's possums in the autumn
	And it's farm cats in the spring
	There was a murder in the red barn
	A murder in the red barn

	Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house
	Or covet thy neighbor's wife
	But for some
	Murder is the only door through which they enter life

	Now they surrounded the house
	They smoke him out
	They took him off in chains
	The sky turned black and bruised
	And we had months of heavy rains
	Now the raven's nest in the rotted roof
	Of Chenoweth's old place
	And no one's asking Cal
	About that scar upon his face
	'Cause there's nothin' strange
	About an axe with bloodstains in the barn

	There's always some killin'
	You got to do around the farm
	A murder in the red barn
	Murder in the red barn

	Now the woods will never tell
	What sleeps beneath the trees
	Or what's buried 'neath a rock
	Or hiding in the leaves
	'Cause road kill has it's seasons
	Just like anything
	It's possums in the atumn
	And it's farm cats in the spring
	A murder in the red barn
	A murder in the red barn

	Now a lady can't do ntohin'
	Without folks' tongues waggin'
	Is this blood on the tree
	Or is it autumn's red blaze
	When the ground's soft for diggin'
	ANd the rain will bring all this gloom
	There's nothing wrong with a lady
	Drinking alone in her room
	But there was a murder in the red barn
	A murder in the red barn
