"Houdini Blues"
(written by Kristin & W.J. Hersh)
Oh no, don't you put me in that box
You know what you can do with those locks
Bet your life I'll come crawling out again
You'll have to deal with me then
You'll
hear me in the wind
I've been on the other side
of the Blue Ridge
Seen the Shenandoah rolling there
I stepped off the mountain's edge
Just to climb the golden stair
I seen the streets up there
I been on the
mount transfiguration
Been there with my ma and
my pa
On the mountain of commandment
I been handed down the law
You should have seen what I saw
I fell to the bottom of Thales' well
Caught
like a thief with a lamb
You know those stars, they
can cast a spell
I been caught with red hands
I been caught with red hands
I scaled the mountains, skiied the valleys
I've done the highs and the lows
I don't
feel like work today
Hell, I won't go
Bess, I won't go
Just let me at their locks
We should all
be free
Oh Bess, I swear I'll call
When I'm free from me
We should all be free
Oh no, don't you put
me in that box
You know what you can do with those
locks
Bet your life I'll come crawling out again
You'll have to deal with me then
You'll hear me in the wind
Oh
no, don't you put me in that box
You know what you
can do with those locks
Bet your life I'll come
crawling out again
You'll have to deal with me then
You'll hear me in the wind
