In a clapboard shack with a roof of tin
Where the rain leaked down and leaked within
A young mother frozen on a concrete floor
With a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw

Tupelo

In a bottle and a box and a cradle of straw

Saturday gives what Sunday steals
A child is born on his brother's heels
Sunday mournin' the first-born dead
In a shoebox tied with a ribbon of red

Tupelo (yeah, yeah, yeah!)
