Bastard son of the carnival strongman,

taught to fear the white rat by his great-granddad.

Still he ain't no slouch at crammin' 'em in

with a bullhorn in his hand.

Formaldehyde's half empty but he tops it off
Am E7
with a bottle of burglar's wine.

They beat a blind man to death with his own damn cane
A E Am
on a jam-packed saturday night.

Well he's the devil's understudy, you know he's always ready

E F E
baby just grab an inch.

D
Plantin' seeds of deception like a kudzu weed
E F E
just hold it out, drop it, and run for your life!
Am F
Well even a two-headed fetus outta have a good home,
Am Em
not in the trunk where jumper cables belong.

But that's just that kind of thing that'll set you off,
Am E Am
resist his bible, candle and skull, boys.

Bible, candle and skull.

B-B-B-Bible, candle and skull, boys.

Bible, candle and skull.
Am F
Well the candle's snuffed and there's nothing left
Am E
in the spotlight but bugs and bats.
Am F
He took his one-drop rule complimentary mule
Am E Am
and a dirt road to Arkansas,
Am E Am E Am
to his hometown of Hope at last!
