words and music by james b lincoln III,  vocals james bruce lincoln IIl lead and rhythm guitars by james b lincoln III, 1st and 2nd mandolins by james bruce lincoln III, Write songs about me in the rain,said i had the mark of cain,from the dirt, let me explain,things that make a modern person insane. back from my  grave , is a little child's stone, my boy clarence, 5 years old, typhoid fever laid him low, used my grief to shovel more coal. pumpjacks horsehead picks at the grass, St agnes bells are tolling for Holy Mass, i married my wife she was just a young lass, kind of woman you don't put under glass. to the left of my grave,is an old man's stone,my boy lyle, born early and slow, got the childhood polio, had to live with my wife till it was her time to go. oldest boy ,he ran out of town, he had blacks and blues, and his color was brown, the days white heat,made his eyes cold, now finding him's like finding lost gold. when youv'e got ten children to feed, you'll hit the moonshine or you'll hit your knees, im not trying to claim a disease, but i was worried about getting in the winter wheat.
