Florins hanging under the willow

Daddy sang in/Daddy's hanging from those beams

Keeping perfect time with the creaking

That girl's only got 18 wheels

Spent enough time with the living

To know the living don't spend nothing on me

So leave your wine and soul in a mansion

Oh, meet me in the big red sea

Sister there's no man you could save

Oh, piece no mush American taint

Bible still can teach you about suffering

Oh, but suffering doesn't know god's name

Spent enough time with the living

To know the living don't spend nothing on me, so

Tell your uncles where to go

Oh, meet me in the big red sea

Holding your head under the water

Doesn't make you a white whale

Holding your head higher and right

Doesn't make you a man, Jane

Spent enough time with the living

To know the living don't spend nothing on me, so

Siccin' purple shales on the altar

Meet me in the big red sea

You can't steal this in remembrance of me

Oh, meet me in the big red sea
