Man Man – The Ballad of Butter Beans Lyrics 15 years ago
sorry about that posting twice. but i think it has a lot of similarities to "The tragedy of Faust" by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. in lamen's terms, guy makes a pact with the devil, he gets faust everything he wants in exchange for his soul, faust wants to back out because he meets a girl whom he falls in love with but she hates that he's followed by mephistopheles (satan). he wants no more of the pact. but he's taken down to hell anyway after things with the girl goes wrong. go read it for yourself, because i'm sure i left some stuff out.

after listening to this on full blast a few times, i think i got the lyrics down pat without all the weird unicode bs. he says his stuff pretty clear in this, except the background singers make it kinda hard to hear the last line of every verse. here:


Butter beans, I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna stick you, I'm gonna take you down
And then romp, I'm goin' to hell,
You're riding shotgun.

Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

Butter beans, I know she wants you
Bet you'll make a lovely headdress
Or a double breasted suit of skin

Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

Butter beans, you best stay sharp
'Cause I'm gonna free that black blood from that black heart
I'm gonna fry I'm gonna fry with a smile on my face

Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

You think you're so slick
I've seen her lipstick 'cross your dillsnick
You think you're so slick
I've seen her lipstick 'cross your dillsnick

Butter beans, you go and try and hide
In the swamp grass I got swamp eyes
And I'll track you down like a bloodhound
It's your time to die

Butter beans I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

Butter beans, you've gotten so fat
I can barely carry your weight across my tiny back
Taught me singing, in the end when I see you, say Amen

Butter beans, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you

Real thick black magic
can't stop the tragedy from happening
Pigs feet and snake piss,
crow tongue and cat face
Horse tail and bone bits
Bird's nest and graveyards
All of it won't keep the tragedy from happening
So run!
