Dead Man Slough

I left your lover in the slough

I left your lover in the slough

He spilled his guts but none of it was true

I left your lover in the slough. 



All the letters he wrote you

were left in plain view

I recited them out loud as I was running him through 

I left your lover in the slough.



Crayfish will do as they wish

No need to stick around and watch

Crayfish will do as they wish with every inch of him.



Out here past the muck and brine,

I wait beneath the power lines And now its half past nine

He’s never been this late before



Crayfish will do as they wish

Cattails beyond the pale

hide the reason why he’s late



I almost can’t blame him I may have done the same

And would expect to pay when caught on someone else’s claim



Crayfish will do as they wish with every inch of him.
