Cuttin' through the cane break
 Ratting the sill
 Thunder that the rain makes
 When the shadow tops the hill
 Big light on the back street
 Hill to ever more, 
 Packin' down the ladder
 With hammer to the floor
 [bad word] the Big Black Mariah
 [bad word] the Big Black Mariah
 [bad word] the Big Black Mariah
 [bad word] the Big Black Ford.

 Well he's all boxed up
 On a red bell dame
 Hunted Black Johnny with
 blind man's cane
 yellow bullet with a
 Rag out in the wind
 An old blind tiger
 Get an old bell Jim
 [bad word] the Big Black
 Mariah, [bad word] the Big Black
 Mariah, [bad word] the Big Black
 Mariah, [bad word] the Big Black Ford.
 Sent to the skies on a
 Benny Jag Blue
 Off to bed without his supper
 Like the Linda brides do

 Now he's got to do the story
 With the old widow Jones...
 He's got a wooden coat this boy
 Is [bad word] home
 [bad word] the Big Black Mariah
 [bad word] the Big Black Mariah
 [bad word] the Big Black Mariah
 [bad word] the Big Black Ford.

 Cut through the
 Cane break...
