lyrics

Jimmie Mack Lynn, he come in, and tells me just to sit still
He's gonna pluck out my eyes so I can't cry and burn up all of my quills
He's a mean mother fucker and I am such a sucker to let him expose my will
He took my eyes and he took my feets
Put in a box wrapped in a sheet

He buried that box outside my cell so I could smell them rot
He's a horrid old boy who see's to take my joy and together they ring my bells
There are not birds and there are no trees because of Jimmy Mack Lynn
Do you hear me
Jimmie Mack Lynn

Do you hear me, Jimmie Mack Lynn, do you hear me

Jimmie Mack Lynn I have suspicioned that he did not sleep alone
When the rains come down I can smell that box and she ain't just flesh and bone
He's a ruthless mother fucker and I'm a goddamed sucker but what else is in that box?
Jimmie Mack Lynn
Do you hear me

Jimmie Mack Lynn, do you hear me?
Jimmie Mack Lynn, do you hear me?
What else is in that box?
What else is in that box?

A strange brew of Son House, Captian Beefheart, Elvis and Nick Cave, backboned by stomping, driving Muscle Shoals rhythms. All resulting in a gospel experience through a gothic Alabama that your typical singer songwriters won't be guiding you anytime soon. ... more
