Country Death Song-Violent Femmes

Artist：violent femmes Songs Title：country death song I had me a wife, I had me some daughters. I tried so hard, I never knew still waters. Nothing to eat and nothing to drink. Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think. Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think. Well, Im a thinkin and thinkin, till theres nothin I aint thunk. Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk. It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind. I started making plans to kill my own kind. I started making plans to kill my own kind. Come little daughter, I said to the youngest one, Put your coat on, well have some fun. Well go out to mountains, the one to explore. Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door. Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door. Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns. Well go out tonight, well go to the caverns. Well go out tonight, well go to the caves. Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves. Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves. A led her to a hole, a deep black well. I said make a wish, make sure and not tell and Close youre eyes dear, and count to seven. You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven. You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven. I gave her a push, I gave her a shove. I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love. I through my child into a bottomless pit. She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit. She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit. Gather round boys to this tale that I tell. You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell? Its guarenteed to get your own place in hell. Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well. Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well. Dont speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart. You wanna know what can really tear you apart? Im going out to the barn, will I never stop in pain? Im going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.
