Axman

They say the axman's coming In a long black car They said the axman's coming He plays a mean guitar Well he slipped across the border With a hatchet in his hand They said who's that stranger The one they call the axman You got Duane and Stevie Ray All brothers of the blade Jimi James and RJ All brothers of the blade Now when he goes from town to town He picks 'em up and lays 'em down People come from miles around Just to dig that crazy sound I heard a guitar wail Until the break of dawn You know the axman was here Oh but now he's gone You got T Bone and Link Wray All brothers of the blade Then there's Django and Elmore James All brothers of the blade Now when he goes from town to town He picks 'em up and lays 'em down People coming from miles around Just to dig that crazy sound Play so low, so sweet Bring a tear to your eye Chills run down to your feet Make a grown man cry One-eyed jacks, King with the axe Like Albert or Freddy One-eyed jacks, King with the axe And of course BB was born ready Now when he goes from town to town He picks 'em up and lays 'em down People coming from miles around Just to dig that crazy sound
