text: 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 Evermore
  Packin down the ladder with the 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 hes all boxed up on a red belle dame
  Hunted Black Johnny with a blind mans cane
  A yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind
  An old blind tiger get an old bell, Jim
  Here comes the Big Black 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 hes got to do the story with the old widow Jones
  Hes got a 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...
  Well hes all boxed up on a red belle dame
  Fat Blue Johnny on a blind mans cane
  A hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the wind
  An old blind tiger on a pair of new wings
  Here comes the Big Black Mariah
  Here comes the Big Black Mariah
  Here comes the Big Black Mariah
  Here comes the Big Black Ford
