Widow's Grove Lyrics

Lyric discussion by andykd 

Cover art for Widow's Grove lyrics by Tom Waits

i am now convinced this wonderful love song is another case of tom waits trickery this song is about sex, and not sensuous romantic sex

line 1 describes RIDING her in the dust

something blinded me more than the mist, breath of the cottonwood, underwear is made of cottonwood, breath of underwear, ladies and gentlemen, is a fart

she RODE the mayPOLE of dance hall LEGS

seriously go through the song and look for all the "cute" innuendos, i couldn't believe it at first but i am now convinced
