lyrics

Well his name it was William and he was an odd little pill
He had these scars that ran down his left arm that gave us little kids the chills
He liked to kick the dried up cow paddies as he'd walk across our farm
And his eyes they were dark and they were red and they were blank like the planks of our barn

Sir William worked down at the snow cone stand
Where in the summer heat all the pretty little girlies would meet
And, Marie McDaniel she was the preachers kid
But, she never laughed at crazy odd old Bill like all you other kids did

"How's your grandmother?" she'd ask him with a smile
But, he'd just grunt and groan and gaze at her a little while
Marie McDaniel she was last seen down by Sir William's Snow Cone Stand
In her green softball jersey talking to her strange, odd old friend

Now Sir William he was arrested on Labor Day and sentenced to die by the next Memorial Day
But, he never confessed to these sins, he never even spoke again
He just drew in his sketch book these sketches of his snow cone stand

Now it's seven years later and the McDaniel's they've moved away from town
Crazy old Bill he's been forgotten and the town has settled right back down
And now it's back to usual, little boys they dress dolls and little girls they play ball
And Sir William's Snow Cone Stand is now a mini-mall

about

Red Mouth Muscle Shoals, Alabama

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
