There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn<br /><br />The trees are bending over and the cows are lying down<br />The autumn?s taking over, you can hear the buckshot hounds<br />The watchman said to Reba the Loon<br />Was that Pale at Manzanita, was it Blind Bob the Coon?<br />Pin it on a drifter, they sleep beneath the bridge<br />One plays the violin and sleeps inside a fridge<br /><br />There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn<br /><br />Someone?s crying in the woods, someone?s burying all his clothes<br />Now Slam the Crank from Wheezer slept outside last night and froze<br />Road kill has its seasons just like anything<br />There?s possums in the autumn and it?s farm cats in the spring<br /><br />There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn<br /><br />Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor?s house or covet thy neighbor?s wife<br />But for some murder is the only door through which they enter life<br /><br />Well they surrounded the house, they smoked him out, they took him off in chains<br />The sky turned black and bruised and we had months of heavy rains<br />Now the raven?s nest in the rotted roof of Chenoweth?s old place<br />And no one?s asking Cal about that scar upon his face<br />?Cause there?s nothin? strange about an axe with bloodstains in the barn<br />There?s always some killin? you got to do around the farm<br /><br />A murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn<br /><br />Now the woods will never tell what sleeps beneath the trees<br />Or what?s buried ?neath a rock or hiding in the leaves<br />?Cause road kill has it?s seasons just like anything<br />It?s possums in the autumn and it?s farm cats in the spring<br /><br />A murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn<br /><br />Now a lady can?t do nothin? without folks? tongues waggin?<br />Is that blood on the tree or is it autumn?s red blaze<br />When the ground?s soft for diggin? and the rain will bring all this gloom<br />There?s nothing wrong with a lady drinking alone in a room<br /><br />But there was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn<br />There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn<br />There was a murder in the red barn, a murder in the red barn<br /><br />Music & Lyrics by: Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan<br />Official release: ?Bone Machine?, Island Records Inc., © 1992
