| Tom Waits – Don't Go Into That Barn Lyrics | 12 years ago |

The original article was being lost to time, so I made an account just to preserve it: http://pastebin.com/F5ZntWA9 This article is the clear inspiration for the song -- there are even specific quotes and phrases that are in both the article and the song, like "a slave-ship turned upside-down". The song's about a secret and gruesome slave jail an old plantation owner had concealed inside his barn. It's mostly destroyed, little more than fallen-down timbers, but its dark history remains. |
