Troubles Braids — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Well I pulled on troubles braids

And I hid in the briars

Out by the quick mud

Stayin away from the main roads

Passin out wolf tickets

Downwind from the blood hounds

And I pulled on troubles braids

And I lay by a cypress

As quiet as a stone

til the bleeding stopped

I blew the weather vane

Off some old road house

I build a fire in the

Skeleton back seat of an old tucker

And I pulled on troubles braids

I spanked cold red mud

Where the hornet stung deep

And I tossed in the ditch

In a restless sleep

And I pulled on troubles braids

I hung my rain-soaked jacket

On some old barbed wire

Poured cold rusty water

On a miserable fire

I pulled on troubles braids

The creek was swollen by daybreak and I could just

Barely see

And I floated downstream

On an old dead tree

And I pulled on troubles braids

I pulled on troubles braids

I pulled on troubles braids

I pulled on troubles braids
