Thicker Than A Smokey (Gary Higgins cover) Lyrics
What do you intend to do you, young man? where do you intend to go?
Will you take a trip to the deep dark south down into mexico?
If you travel with a spider in your duffle bag with you ???o
And if you get hung on a frozen stag be here for the snow.
Its often im wishin to leave myself, buy me some fancy clothes,
Get on a stretch of a winding road on my ???o.
Honey ill be ridin in a cadillac, must of took an overdose.
Quicker than lookey down a railroad track, honey wasnt even close.
If i had a little message i could leave you with id hang it on a door,
But i dont and its no use no more, dont get anymore.
Honey ill be hustlin just to make up slack, give me little hangin rope,
Thicker than a smokey in a factory stack, honey wasnt even close.
What do you intend to do young man? where do you intend to go?
Will you take a trip to the deep dark south down into mexico?
Will you take a trip to the deep dark south down into mexico?
If you travel with a spider in your duffle bag with you ???o
And if you get hung on a frozen stag be here for the snow.
Its often im wishin to leave myself, buy me some fancy clothes,
Get on a stretch of a winding road on my ???o.
Quicker than lookey down a railroad track, honey wasnt even close.
But i dont and its no use no more, dont get anymore.
Thicker than a smokey in a factory stack, honey wasnt even close.
Will you take a trip to the deep dark south down into mexico?

some lyric corrections: first couple of verses that have ???'s in them.. this is copied from the original Gary Higgins song (I don't think Ben Chasny/Six Organs changed any of the lyrics)
If you travel with a spider in your duffle bag With you good weather goes And if you get hung on a frozen stair Be here for the snow, oh oh.
It's often that I wish to leave myself Buy me some fancy clothes Get on a stretch of a winding road All in my canvas show, oh oh.
also, "Quicker than lookey down a railroad track" should be "Quicker than a locy (locomotive) down a railroad track"
and this line "But i dont and its no use no more, dont get anymore" should end with "no good anymore" instead of "don't get anymore"
All in all a lovely dreamy song.. both the cover and the Gary Higgins original. :)
