gourds - the flat baritone كلمات الأغنية

form a ring and wind and twine
round the ol’ grape vine
heavy on the wire from the house
salt the cow and kill the calf
meet yer lonesome with a once and a half
gent¹s on the east and ladies on the south

the solemn boy carries his silver damage
sold but for, the number and the image

his eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
paper yellowed from the salt and the failure

when he sings he slurs
& uses the meat of his thigh
t¹hold the book he wrote when he was lame
so wrapped up in his flat baritone
no castrato could woo him in from the rain

for he never raised his voice when his britches

was spillin¹ over with that honey truck richness

his eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
paper yellowed from the salt and the failure

well the stylus h-t the patches
as he spit on the splashes
& sought out the scratches in the vinyl
‘neath a needle topped with nickels
to keep the tunes a-goin’
cracklin’, croonin’ & crowin’

multi-colored, hard-boiled & hidden
in the corners, with the dogs rusty remnants

his eyes have saddened making wine from the stems
empty ears longing for the wood and the skins
paper yellowed from the salt and the failure

- gourds
