Devil's Hootenanny - Laura Veirs (劳拉·威尔斯)[00:00:00]
I was walking through the snow[00:00:02]
When I saw a distant glow[00:00:05]
Of a farmhouse nestled down beneath the trees[00:00:09]
With a guitar on my back[00:00:14]
I thought it sure can't hurt to ask[00:00:20]
If I could stay the night[00:00:23]
And sing a pretty song for free[00:00:26]
I walked up to the house[00:00:29]
And then I knocked hard on the door[00:00:34]
That old dark piece of wood[00:00:37]
She fell right in there on the floor[00:00:41]
And as she did a fire burst out on all sides[00:00:44]
I wondered what the hell was going on inside[00:00:50]
Then the music that I heard[00:00:57]
It was bizarre it was absurd[00:01:02]
Like no banjo fiddle bass I'd ever seen[00:01:05]
I stepped into a room of flames[00:01:10]
Shook my head and looked again[00:01:17]
It was the kind of company to make you scream[00:01:20]
It was a devil's hootenanny[00:01:25]
An old-time fire band[00:01:30]
A drunken whiskey choir singing[00:01:33]
Round me you understand[00:01:38]
And then they said "We've been searching near and far[00:01:40]
For a thing like you to sing and play guitar"[00:01:45]
Well I opened up my case[00:01:52]
And all the blood rushed to my face[00:01:57]
I sang a fragile note picked a minor tune[00:02:01]
Well those devils yelled and clapped[00:02:06]
And all their asses they did slap[00:02:11]
Before too long we were arm and arm beneath the moon[00:02:14]
Cuz that old house burnt on down[00:02:19]
There were cinders on the ground[00:02:24]
I snuggled up inside closed my eyes[00:02:27]
I was sleeping sound[00:02:33]
And I dreamt of summer nights down by the sea[00:02:35]
With a devil's banjo playing on my knee[00:02:40]
