Big Black Mariah Lyrics
Well cutting through the cane break, rattling the sill
Thunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops the hill Big light on the back street, hill to ever more Packing down the ladder with the hammer to the floor Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen the big black Ford Well he's all boxed up on a red belle dame Hunted Black Johnny with a blind man's cane A yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind An old blind tiger, got an old bell Jim Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big black Ford Sent to the skies on a Benny Jag Blue Off to bed without his supper like a Linda brides do He got to do the story with the old widow Jones Got a wooden coat, this boy is never coming home Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah Here come the Big Black Mariah, I seen that big black Ford Cut through the canebrake, oh yeah Well he's all boxed up on a red belle dame Flat Blue Johnny with a blind man's cane A hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the wind An old blind tiger, on a bell you win Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the Big Black Mariah Here come the Big Black Mariah, here come the big black Ford

Anyone got any ideas about the rest of it? I know a wooden coat is a coffin & would guess that "Benny Jag Blue" is a drug reference, but beyond that I'm stumped. How the hell does Tom Waits write these fantastic, evocative songs & nobody knows what they mean?
