Fandango - The Mill's on Fire lyrics
[Fandango - The Mill's on Fire lyrics]
The moon casts a dusty shadow
On the front-step prisoner's frown
Prices in the market gettin'
Higher and higher
And the cathouse trade went down
Ain't seen no rain now for five or six weeks
Everything is gettin' so dry
You know there's something in the air
I see red lights in the sky
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire if she goes up
You know we're goin' down tonight
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire
(If she goes up, we'll all go down)
Sister's got the fever
Mama, she's got it too
Brother, he's got himself a 38 Spеcial
That he's got the itch to use
Doctor says hе ain't gonna come on back
'Til Papa can pay the bills
He's downtown drinkin' his paycheck up
And there's a fire down at the mill, oh
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire if she goes up
You know we're goin' down tonight
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire, yeah
(If she goes up, we'll all go down)
Junior puts down his guitar
Throws on a coat and some shoes
Jumps behind the wheel of an overhead-six
With a bucket and a bible too
Heads on down to the carnival grounds
Knocks on the rainmaker's door
He say, "Well, come on outside
And put a spell on the sky
Or my daddy can't work no more"
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire if she goes up
You know we're goin' down tonight
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire
(If she goes up, we'll all go down)
On the front-step prisoner's frown
Prices in the market gettin'
Higher and higher
And the cathouse trade went down
Ain't seen no rain now for five or six weeks
Everything is gettin' so dry
You know there's something in the air
I see red lights in the sky
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire if she goes up
You know we're goin' down tonight
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire
(If she goes up, we'll all go down)
Sister's got the fever
Mama, she's got it too
Brother, he's got himself a 38 Spеcial
That he's got the itch to use
Doctor says hе ain't gonna come on back
'Til Papa can pay the bills
He's downtown drinkin' his paycheck up
And there's a fire down at the mill, oh
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire if she goes up
You know we're goin' down tonight
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire, yeah
(If she goes up, we'll all go down)
Junior puts down his guitar
Throws on a coat and some shoes
Jumps behind the wheel of an overhead-six
With a bucket and a bible too
Heads on down to the carnival grounds
Knocks on the rainmaker's door
He say, "Well, come on outside
And put a spell on the sky
Or my daddy can't work no more"
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire if she goes up
You know we're goin' down tonight
Oh, oh, the mill's on fire
(If she goes up, we'll all go down)
