The Man Who Would Speak True (Album) - Blitzen Trapper[00:00:00]

I had a lover her name was Grace[00:00:08]

She found me down in a lonely place[00:00:11]

She dug me out with an old jaw bone[00:00:14]

She dressed me up for to take me home[00:00:17]

She fed me words that I could not taste [00:00:19]

For I had no tongue it had been replaced[00:00:22]

By a green and a growing flower which grew[00:00:25]

And I knew if I ever spoke I would speak true[00:00:28]

We lived together in an old hotel[00:00:38]

A broke-down palace with a wishing well[00:00:41]

The neighbor girl taught me how to spell[00:00:43]

And how to steal what I could not sell[00:00:46]

But I fed my tongue on the Devils rum[00:00:49]

In a roadhouse run by a godless bum[00:00:52]

On a drunken night with a stolen gun[00:00:55]

I shot my lover as she made to run[00:00:58]

The judge said Son what have you done [00:01:01]

But I didnt speak a word no I didnt speak one[00:01:04]

And the judge sent me away[00:01:07]

And they buried my Grace yeah the very next day[00:01:11]

They sent me out on a midnight train[00:01:20]

In the rain rolling down through the dusty plain[00:01:22]

Four men sitting with an old shotgun [00:01:25]

Silver stars pinned on every one[00:01:28]

They busted my mouth for to get at my tongue[00:01:30]

To see just how this had all begun[00:01:33]

So I opened my mouth like a dragons breath[00:01:37]

I only spoke truth but it only brought death[00:01:40]

And I laid those boys to rest[00:01:43]

For the truth in truth is a terrible jest[00:01:47]

For there aint no road but the road to home [00:01:55]

There aint no crops but the ones youve sown[00:01:58]

And if you learn one thing from me[00:02:01]

You better guard your tongue like your enemy[00:02:06]

I came to ground in a one-horse town[00:02:14]

On the western rim where the sun goes down[00:02:17]

Where a branded man might start again[00:02:19]

For to right his wrong for to lose his sin[00:02:22]

But my tongue kept growing it would not cease[00:02:25]

I grew quite weary couldnt get no release[00:02:28]

So I went to the magistrate and turned myself in [00:02:31]

Picked up a shovel and he made the grin[00:02:34]

And they planted me by the sea[00:02:37]

Now the birds of the air make nests on me[00:02:42]
