laura veirs - devil's hootenanny كلمات الأغنية
i was walking through the snow
when i saw a distant glow
of a farmhouse nestled
down beneath the trees
with a guitar on my back
i thought it sure can’t hurt to ask
if i could stay the night
and sing a pretty song for free
i walked up to the house
and then i knocked hard on the door
that old dark piece of wood
she fell right in there on the floor
and as she did a fire burst out on all sides
i wondered what the h-ll was going on inside
then the music that i heard
it was bizarre, it was absurd
like no banjo fiddle b-ss i’d ever seen
i stepped into a room of flames
shook my head and looked again
it was the kind of company to make you scream
it was a devil’s hootenanny
an old time fire band
a drunken whiskey choir singing
round me you understand
and then they said
“we’ve been searching near and far
for a thing like you to sing and play guitar”
well, i opened up my case
and all the blood rushed to my face
i sang a fragile note, picked a minor tune
well, those devils yelled and clapped
and all their -sses they did slap
before too long we were arm
and arm beneath the moon
’cause that old house burnt on down
there were cinders on the ground
i snuggled up inside, closed my eyes
i was sleeping sound
and i dreamt of summer nights down by the sea
with a devil’s banjo playing on my knee
