Well cutting through the cane break, rattling the till

Thunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops the

hill

Big light on the back street, hill to ever more

Backing down the ladder with the hammer to the floor

Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big

Black Mariah

Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen the big black

Ford

Well he's all boxed up on a red bell day

Hunted Black Charlie on a blind man's cane

A yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind

An old blind tiger, got an old bell Jewel

Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big

Black Mariah

Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big

black Ford

Sent to the skies on a Benny Jag Blue

Off to bed without his supper like a Linda brides do

He got through the story with the old widow Jones

God that wooden country boy's never coming home

Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big

Black Mariah

Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen that big black

Ford

Cut through the canebrake, oh yeah

Well he's all boxed up on a red bell day

Flat Blue Charlie on a blind man's cane

A hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the wind

An old blind tiger, on a pair of new wings.

Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big

Black Mariah

Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big

black Ford
