about

The fourth song of Dark Mountain

lyrics

Mother, I’ve come home today
Not to stay
But to take you far away
Past knowing or caring
Promising or swearing
Into the stable of the old calf

Yesterday will be my birthday
Mama I’m a man now
Mama I’m a man now
But I feel so weak like an old calf

Old calf, Old calf
I feel so weak like an old calf

Hey Mr. Black
You don’t owe me a thing
If I get hungry
Then you’ll hear me sing
When I want my water
I’ll go down to the well
And you’ll have to move over for the old calf

Old calf, old calf,
You’ll have to move over for the old calf

Three blind cats
Are picking at my bones
Three fine wives
Are rolled into one
Three nine lives
Are twenty-seven runs
And at the end of the rope is the old calf

Old calf, old calf
At the end of the rope is the old calf

Old calf, old calf
First you’re going to cry
Then you’re going to laugh

Old Calf, old calf
Because you’re in the thrall of the old calf

Old Calf, old calf
Because you’re in the thrall of the old calf
