Lyrics
The Black Wagon Returns
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The black, the black, the black wagon
The black, the black, the black wagon
The black, the black, the black wagon
The tale that you have heard tonight, we cross our hearts, was true
And every week a different tale in red and white and blue
So if you hear the wagon's spokes, just say a gravelly prayer
The wagon's comin' straight for you, tune in if you dare
The black, the black, the black wagon
The black, the black, the black wagon
The black, the black, the black wagon
The black, the black, the black wagon
The black, the black, the black wagon
The black, the black, the black wagon
I'm Mister Storm
And I'm Mister Tender
Sleep lightly, travelers
The Black Wagon will return next week
