text: There was a murder in the red barn
  A murder in the red barn
  The trees are bending over
  And the cows are lying down
  The autumns taking over
  You can hear the Buckshot hounds
  The watchman said to Reba the loon
  Was that pale at Manzanita?
  Or was it Blind Bob the coon?
  Pin it on a drifter
  They sleep beneath the bridge
  One plays the violin
  And sleeps inside a fridge
  There was a murder in the red barn
  A murder in the red barn
  Someones crying in the woods
  Someones burying all his clothes
  Now Slam the Crank from Wheezer
  Slept outside last night and froze
  Roadkill has its seasons
  Just like anything
  There is possums in the autumn
  And theres farm cats in the spring
  There was a murder in the red barn
  A murder in the red barn
  Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbors house
  Or covet thy neighbors wife
  But for some
  Murder is the only door thru which they enter life
  Now they surrounded the house
  They smoked him out
  And took him off in chains
  The sky turned black and bruised
  And we had months of heavy rains
  Now the ravens nest in the rotted roof
  Of Chenoweths old place
  And no ones asking Cal
  About that scar upon his face
  Cause theres nothin strange
  About an axe with bloodstains in the barn
  Theres always some killin
  You got to do around the farm
  A murder in the red barn
  A murder in the red barn
  The woods will never tell
  What sleeps beneath the trees
  Or whats buried neath a rock
  Or hiding in the leaves
  Cause roadkill has its seasons
  Just like anything
  Its possums in the autumn
  And its farm cats in the spring
  A murder in the red barn
  A murder in the red barn
  Now a lady cant do nothin
  Without folks tongues waggin
  Is that blood on the tree?
  Or is it autumns red blaze?
  When the ground is soft for diggin
  And the rain will bring all this gloom
  Theres nothing wrong with a lady
  Drinking alone in a room
  But there was a murder in the red barn
  A murder in the red barn
  There was a murder in the red barn
  A murder in the red barn
  There was a murder in the red barn
  A murder in the red barn
