Gave It A Name
In the fields of the lordStood abel and cain
Cain slew abel neath the black rain
At night he couldnt stand the guilt or the blame
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
Billy got drunk, angry at his wife
He hit her once, he hit her twice
At night hed lie in bed, he couldnt stand the shame
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
Pa told me "son, one thing I know is true
Poison snake bites you, youre poison too"*
At night I can feel that poison runnin round my veins
