Foxglove Blues
My time is short, baby
You know I'm gonna go
My time is short, baby
You know I'm gonna go
You put somethin' in my coffee this mornin'
Now I'm off to that fire down below
I see these papers around the house
All these trusts, wills and deeds
A lawyer's signing our life away
And you say "Oh it's nothing, sweetie"
My time is short, baby
You know I'm gonna go
You put somethin' in my coffee this mornin',
Now I'm off to that fire down below
When I first met you, you said
I was as fine as could be
But now I bet I'm not as fine
As all that insurance money
My time is short, baby
You know I'm gonna go
You put somethin' in my coffee this mornin',
Now I'm off to that fire down below
You gave me some digitalis
You said it'd be good for my heart
You left out one thing, baby
Too much will blow me apart
My time is short, baby
You know I'm gonna go
You put somethin' in my coffee this mornin',
Now I'm off to that fire down below
Now I see you looking down on me
You've finished casting your spell
Good luck with your next man, baby
Now that you've sent me to hell
My time is short, baby
You know I'm gonna go
You put somethin' in my coffee this mornin',
Now I'm off to that fire down below
But before I leave this earth
I'm gonna have you pitch a fit
That cake you just put in your mouth
has some arsenic in it
My time is short, baby
You know I'm gonna go
I'm takin' you with me, baby,
To that fire down below

This song was inspired by a locally celebrated case where, allegedly, a group of eight people, led by a mother and daughter, went around befriending elderly men and women, worming their way into their lives, then their estates, then one day slipping a little bit too much digitalis into their food (aka "Magic Salt"). The local police dubbed this case "the Foxglove Case", but had been having a hard time trying to prosecute (two inspectors were pulled of the case for allegedly trying to sell the story of this case to Hollywood, for example) |

This is an excellent get down and dirty blues tune. | | Rating: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
