lyrics

Oh Maddie Sloan
You’ll thank him one blue day
So stop your crying
You’re all alone

A jolt to dance your bones
Bleach and pumice stones

You had the wheel
He lit your cigarette
You had to wonder
If he was sane

A drop of dew
Shone on the trembling blade
For just a moment
Then it was gone

The jailer came
With word that Georgie’d gone
Said when we fried him
We sang this song

A jolt to dance your bones
Bleach and pumice stones
Bullfrog thrumming low
Shredded calico
Screaming through the town
Coppers brought him down
Light me up again
Wouldn’t you, for a friend?
