About the Artist
Lyrics
One One, two One, two, three, four Down the crooked road a ways Child's shadow hiding in the briar Tending to a twisted heart that's bent and broken Wounded and abandoned, left amongst the rotted root to rot Moon, crimson moon Rosemary's walking down the crooked road a ways All aglow, her fair white skin Portrait of beauty, angel to many Hears the heart crying from the briar, and Reaches in her hand to see what's the matter Is dragged through the darkness Beneath a lonely cypress The town's beloved daughter Carried to her death in the turbid waters And set afloat downstream Whole town erupts, bursts into flame Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways Find old Rufus there, drunk and asleep Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter Can't hold back these waves of anger Tie a rope around his neck See if he still hollers Another innocent soul hangs over the briar
