Dead Thumb King

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I got some dirt from Lightnin' Hopkins's grave And some bones from an old black crow I got a rattlesnake tail inside my guitar I got a Molins cigarette and a double six domino [Verse 2] I got a Mercury dime and a two-dollar bill And a bouquet of nine black roses I got Four Thieves vinegar in a mason jar And I swear by the seven books of Moses [Chorus] I's workin' the road at the crossroads It's bonafide conjurin' as all get-out Stand aside and let's qualify I am the dead thumb king, lest you doubt [Verse 3] I drink jimsomweed, sulfur, and honey I never cut my hair in broad daylight I wash my hands in Two Jacks extract Come dark, I light a candle to Saint Expedite [Verse 4] I got an Indian head penny made in a leap year I took in a mean-eyed cat, I named her Snake Bite Red devil lyes buried at the four corners of my house I got a mouth harp thrown away by Charlie Musselwhite [Chorus] I's workin' the road at the crossroads It's bonafide conjurin' as all get-out Stand aside and let's qualify I am the dead thumb king, lest you doubt [Verse 5] I got a rooster clock nailed to my front door And a prayer candle on my window sill I sleep with a woman who cusses in French She makes pinwheels of feathers and daffodils [Chorus] I's workin' the road at the crossroads It's bonafide conjurin' as all get-out Stand aside and let's qualify I am the dead thumb king, lest you doubt [Chorus] I's workin' the road at the crossroads It's bonafide conjurin' as all get-out Stand aside and let's qualify I am the dead thumb king, lest you doubt I am the dead thumb king, lest you doubt I am the dead thumb king, lest you doubt
