This Way To The Egress - We'll All Soon Be Dead lyrics

Well it was 1890 when my brother lost his leg And his wife had to pull him through the snow Slave boy came outside and yelled through the wind Your mothers dead she left us in the night Fever caught her dead but I stowed away her corpse I left her for the wolves out in the back Their strippin down her flesh all that's left is bleached white bone Well at least they'll leave us lone one more night The pitchforks in the hay and we'll live another day As long as we can get through one more night This lands getting rotten and I have to shake my head Cos the cattles sick and we'll all soon be dead In 1891 I lost another son I guess the cold just froze his bones to d**h I never heard a peep from his little sister weepin Oh she knows that she has to save her breath The cold came one night And nipped her little toes She said "pa my feets is turnin black" I turned to the wall And laid my head and bawled Come on girl lets go out and fetch my axe The pitchforks in the hay and we'll live another day As long as we can get through one more night This lands getting rotten and I have to shake my head Cos the cattles sick and we'll all soon be dead Well it's 1893 and the cold just hit it's peak It seems that all is left out here is me Well I've crawled up into madness An I'm waitin to meet d**h I'll gladly shake his hand and introduce myself I'll hang myself in the barn Or throw me to the wolves To be eaten alive at least I'd feel there warmth Cos there's no lonliness like sittin in my piss And wishin that I'd died long ago The pitchforks in the hay and we'll live another day As long as we can get through one more night This lands getting rotten and I have to shake my head Cos the cattles sick and we'll all soon be dead The pitchforks in the hay and we'll live another day As long as we can get through one more night This lands getting rotten and I have to shake my head Cos the cattles sick and we'll all soon be dead Yeah the cattles sick and we'll all soon be dead Yeah the cattles sick and we'll all soon be dead
