Ocooch Mountain Blues

from below your knows by Luke Callen

/

lyrics

In the hills of the Ocooch Mountain
black tar baby being born
Shaking cause her mama saved herself
Guilt and the guise and the scorn

A false hearted lover lead her a stray
Needle candle and a spoon
They made love in the trailer park
Light of the cold blood moon

Soon as he came he fled away
Left a habit she could not kill
And a baby yet unborn
Who’d be hooked when he met this world

Give her ice water when she’s thirsty
Methadone when she’s dry
If that hit don’t kill her now
Be using till the day she dies

A tree in falls in the forest
Lucky if it makes a sound
Just like her back on the bedroom floor
When the dealer gets outta town

In the hills of the Ocooch Mountains
Black tar baby being born
