about

from album We Have Tigers

lyrics

The smell of fire on his clothes
I'm wearing them to carry him home
His high draped pants and shoes so worn
Oh my lover from me has gone

He was my man of the wandering eye
Gave me love on the bye-and-bye
Only my pretty heart he took
My autumn man of ash and smoke

Oh my man of the wandering eye
Took my love till I was dry
Left at night and when I woke
Naught was left but ash and smoke

He had a lover for all the world to see
He had a lover who took his love from me
Her ribbons wild her hair so free
On her finger gold glistenin'

There was a fire in the hills tonight
And this fire burnt everything in sight
I lit a match, I lit it bright
I touched the tinder watched it light
Gold glistenin'

Five young men come looking for me
They're at my door, shotgun's ready
The hill's alight, town people woke
They found dead my man
Of ash and smoke

The scaffold's high, the shadows long
Bury me deep for my man is gone
My shroud be ash, embers my ring
Hell has fires
Gold glistening

The smell of fire on his clothes
I'm wearing them to carry him home
his high draped pants
Shoes so worn
Oh my lover from me has gone
