When I Speak, the thunder stops rolling My voice knocks it out of the sky When I'm thirsty, I reach up And grab a cloud And squeeze it till it's dry I'm Calamity's Child I'm Calamity's Child Don't mess with me Don't mess with Calamity's Child I have 15 snakes for breakfast Washed down with a barrel of gin I can split a rock just by staring hard Write a curse on the head of a pin I'm Calamity's Child I'm Calamity's Child Don't mess with me Don't mess with Calamity's Child Well my mama is Destruction And Sin is my daddy's name I turn a good man's heart to stone Bring a good woman down to shame I'm Calamity's Child I'm Calamity's Child Don't mess with me Don't mess with Calamity's Child Playin' cards with the devil at midnight And I win with a dead man's hand Took the gold from the teeth of a sleepin' judge Crying "Catch me if you can" I'm Calamity's Child I'm Calamity's Child Don't mess with me Don't mess with Calamity's Child
