For the poisoning of the well
That I saw him late last night
Dancing barefoot, bathed in light
What else did you expect me to do?
And fell short a star or two
The people around here
Black eyed man I'm warning you
Black eyed man I'm thirsty dear
They found his fingerprints all over the pail
They found his fingerprints all over the pail
"It ain't the water that's not right around here"
He says to the people gathered round him
What I say is what you'll do
Black eyed man he took the blame
I always meant to say I'm sorry
But completely against my will
And reaching for every star in sight
Yes he did things to me
But you promised me the sky
They found his shoes by the pulley
To hell with love and truth
Things of which I dream of still
Black eyed man I'm warning you
For all the things I said and did
Yes I did go to him
And with a noose around his neck
Cicadas trilling everywhere
Will not be sued by a simple line or two
Yes your honor I do solemnly swear
Be a love and bring some water here
They found this shoes by the pulley
I'm sorry, I feel better now, do you?
