Crossroad coffins
Scarecrow callin'

Another day's gone for good

The queen of spades has just gone broke

And fix it firm
              Bb                      C
And fill the ditch with a string of pearls

With the good time germs

Slip out the back door
Gm            F
  Sippin' on nicotine
             Em
Step in the Gulf Stream
