There’s a dark wind a-blowin ‘cross the Lou’siana plain
There’s a fire in the night that shot up its last flame
‘Neath the deep south sky, two people on the lane
Got nuthin’ ‘tween the two of ‘em, not even half a brain
There’s a windstorm a-comin from the far Atlantic coast
There’s a change a-comin too, makin what’s the least the most
Tossin back an forth all the secrets they could host
The look a’ horror on ‘em, you would swear they seen a ghost
There’s a lone clock a-soundin and a-mockin with its bell
There’s a candle burnin slowly in a midnight prison cell
There’s a cold an granite marker where the unknown mighty fell
There’s a dark wind a blowin straight from the depths of hell
There’s a fire in the night that shot up its last flame
‘Neath the deep south sky, two people on the lane
Got nuthin’ ‘tween the two of ‘em, not even half a brain
There’s a windstorm a-comin from the far Atlantic coast
There’s a change a-comin too, makin what’s the least the most
Tossin back an forth all the secrets they could host
The look a’ horror on ‘em, you would swear they seen a ghost
There’s a lone clock a-soundin and a-mockin with its bell
There’s a candle burnin slowly in a midnight prison cell
There’s a cold an granite marker where the unknown mighty fell
There’s a dark wind a blowin straight from the depths of hell
