Cuttin' through the cane break
Rattling the sill
Thunder that the rain makes

When the shadow tops the hill
Big light on the back street
Hill to ever more, Packin' down the ladder

With hammer to the floor
Here comes the Big Black Mariah
Here comes the Big Black Mariah

Here comes the Big Black Mariah
Here comes the Big Black Ford.
Well he's all boxed up

On a red bell dame
Hunted Black Johnny with
A blind man's cane

A yellow bullet with a
Rag out in the wind
An old blind tiger

Get an old bell Jim
Mariah, Here comes the Big Black
Mariah, Here comes the Big Black

Mariah, Here comes the Big Black Ford.
Sent to the skies on a
Benny Jag Blue

Off to bed without his supper
Like the Linda brides do
Now he's got to do the story

With the old widow Jones...
He's got s wooden coat this boy
Is never coming home

Here comes the Big Black Mariah
Here comes the Big Black Mariah
Here comes the Big Black Mariah

Here comes the Big Black Ford.
Cut through the
Cane break...
