[00:00.00]Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies
[00:14.98]Black eyed man he took the blame
[00:18.97]For the poisoning of the well
[00:23.04]They found this shoes by the pulley
[00:26.86]They found his fingerprints all over the pail
[00:31.12]Black eyed man I'm warning you
[00:35.31]The people around here
[00:36.51]Will not be fooled by a simple line or two
[00:43.02]Yes your honour I do solemnly swear
[00:46.85]That I saw him late last night
[00:50.97]Dancing barefoot bathed in light
[00:54.23]And reaching for every star in sight
[00:57.47]Yes I did go to him
[01:03.04]But completely against my will
[01:06.73]And yes he did things to me
[01:11.16]Things of which I dream of still
[01:38.48]Black eyed man I'm warning you
[01:42.41]What I say is what you'll do
[01:45.73]To hell with love and truth
[01:50.11]I always meant to say I'm sorry
[01:53.56]For all the things I said and did
[01:57.86]'Sorry ' I feel better now do you
[02:06.18]But you promised me the sky
[02:09.62]And fell short a star or two
[02:13.74]What else did you expect me to do
[02:22.06]Black eyed man he took the blame
[02:26.01]For the poisoning of the well
[02:29.88]They found his shoes by the pulley
[02:33.76]They found his fingerprints all over the pail
[02:37.82]With a noose around his neck
[02:41.82]Cicadas trilling everywhere
[02:45.76]He says to the people gathered round him
[02:49.94]'It ain't the water that's not right around here'
[02:54.13]Black eyed man I'm thirsty dear
[02:58.01]Be a love and bring some water here
[03:01.26]Drawn fresh from the well
