Cowboy Junkies - Black Eyed Man Lyrics

Send "Black Eyed Man" ringtone to your cell

Black eyed man he took the blame

For the poisoning of the well

They found this shoes by the pulley

They found his fingerprints all over the pail

Black eyed man I'm warning you

The people around here

Will not be sued by a simple line or two

Yes your honor I do solemnly swear

That I saw him late last night

Dancing barefoot bathed in light

And reaching for every star in sight

Yes I did go to him

But completely against my will

Yes he did things to me

Things of which I dream of still

Black eyed man I'm warning you

What I say is what you'll do

To hell with love and truth

I always meant to say I'm sorry

For all the things I said and did

I'm sorry I feel better now do you?

But you promised me the sky

And fell short a star or two

What else did you expect me to do?

Black eyed man he took the blame

For the poisoning of the well

They found his shoes by the pulley

They found his fingerprints all over the pail

And with a noose around his neck

Cicadas trilling everywhere

He says to the people gathered round him

"It ain't the water that's not right around here"

Black eyed man I'm thirsty dear

Be a love and bring some water here

Drawn fresh from the well
