lyrics

Clarksdale's in the South, and lays heavy on my mind
Clarksdale's in the South, lays heavy on my mind
I can have a good time there, if I ain't got but one lousy dime

Clarksdale, Mississippi always gonn' be my home
Clarksdale, Mississippi always gonn' be my home
That's the reason you hear me set right here and moan

First in flyte with a ‘Y’ I’ll amaze ya
You can call me cutter, I will call you Steppin’ Razor
Ten-Eighty Zapruder, caskets of intruders
Sixty cycle humming, I can feel it in my molars
In my temples, I rent from the sentient tenfold
It beckons the reckoning technically
Lurks in the murkiest boltholes
Got a lump in my throat like a golf ball

And that’s all she wrote
In a fugazi moleskine
Scraps of her tracts looped lazy on the trade winds
He wades in with bin bags attached to his ankles
He sank like a knackered transmission

Fishermen lake gathered in stacks
They were attracted by tales of uncatchable Krakens
They were laying intractable
Awaiting as Ahab
Embarrassing lesser journeyman anglers
winds
He wades in with bin bags attached to his ankles
He sank like a knackered transmission

Every day in the week, I goes to Midtown Drugs
Every day in the week, I goes to Midtown Drugs
Get me a ginger ale, and a plate of that home-cooked grub

Nobody knows Clarksdale like I do
Nobody knows Clarksdale like I do
And the reason I know it, I follow it through and through
