Tom Waits - 16 Shells From A 30.6

Plugged sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six 
And the Black Crow snuck through a hole in the sky 
So I spent all my buttons on an old pack mule 
And I made me a ladder from a pawnshop marimba 
And I leaned up against a dandelion tree 
Leaned up against a dandelion tree 
Leaned up against a dandelion tree 

I'm gonna cook them feathers on a tiny spit 
And I filled me a sachel full of old pig corn 
And I beat me a billy from an old French horn 
And I kicked that mule to the top of the tree 
Kicked that mule to the top of the tree 
Blew me a hole 'bout the size of a kickdrum 
And I cut me a switch from a long branch elbow 

I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin' 
Black Crow, sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six 
Whittle you into kindlin' 
Black Crow sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six 

Well, I slept in the holler of a dry creek bed 
And I tore out the buckets from a red Corvette 
Tore out the buckets from a red Corvette 
Lionel and Dave and the Butcher made three 
Well, you got to meet me by the knuckles of the skinnybone tree 
With the strings of a Washburn stretched like a clothesline 
Oh, you know me and that mule scrambled right through the hole 
Me and that mule scrambled right through the hole 

I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin' 
Black Crow, sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six 
Whittle you into kindlin' 
Black Crow sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six 

Now I hold him prisoner in a Washburn jail 
That I strapped on the back of my old kick mule 
Strapped him on the back of my old kick mule 
Bang on the strings just to drive him crazy 
Oh, I strum it loud to rattle his cage 
Strum it loud just to rattle his cage 
Strum it loud just to rattle his cage 
Strum it loud just to rattle his cage 

Oh, I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin' 
Black Crow, sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six 
Whittle you into kindlin' 
Black Crow sixteen shells from a thirty-ought-six
