& the barmaid
she was queen
of the boilermaker parade
she had killed a man
with a poison round
of atlanta fanta
in pittsburg
in illinois
in the aleutians
& all across the usa
~
she confessed her crime
to a relative of mine
never scared at the time
that he would ever tell
to a relative of mine
never scared at the time
that he would ever tell
& out of his tree
he only told me
you see -
he drank too much wine
deep in the dream time
& well
if he hadnt
he couldve ruined
the sandmans dance & rhyme
& anyway
mercy the sandman be
