Lyrics for The Rooster Moans
Crack of dawn, the rooster moans Wake up boy, you're far from home Serpentine, the tracks in flames Longest path the devil laid Led you straight aboard this rusty train Lift your head because you can't sleep Bite your lip because you can't eat Darkest den the devil made Jesus weeps but he's been paid Not to ride inside this rusty train Buzzard's breath, the rooster moans Stow it boy, you're far from home Stow your sorrow, stow your fear What did you do to end up here? End up on the devil's rusty train
