Gave It a Name

[Verse 1] In the fields of the Lord, stood Abel and Cain Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain At night he couldn't stand the guilt, or the blame [Chorus] So he gave it a name So he gave it a name So he gave it a name [Verse 2] Billy got drunk, angry at his wife He hit her once, he hit her twice At night, he'd lie in bed, couldn't stand the shame [Chorus] So he gave it a name So he gave it a name So he gave it a name [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Pa told me, "Son, one thing I know is true Poison snake bites ya, you're poison too" At night I can feel that poison runnin' 'round my veins [Instrumental Chorus Melody]
