When I First Came To Town

All The People Gathered Round

They Bought Me Drinks

Lord, How They Quickly Changed Their Tune



When I First Came To Town

People Took Me Round From End To End

Like Someone May Take Round A Friend

O How Quickly They Changed Their Tune



Suspicion And Dark Murmurs Surround Me

Everywhere I Go They Confound Me

As Though The Blood On My Hands

Is There For Every Citizen To See



O Sweet Jesus

There Is No Turning Back

There Is Always One More Town

A Little Further Down The Track



And From My Window, Across The Tracks

I Watch The Juicers Burn Their Fires

And In That Light

Their Faces Leer At Me

How I Wish They'd Just Let Me Be



When I First Came To Town

Their Favours Were For Free

Now Even The Doors Of The Whores Of This Town

Are Closed To Me



I Search The Mirror

And I Try To See

Why The People Of This Town

Have Washed Their Hands Of Me



O Sweet Jesus

There Is No Turning Back

There Is Always One More Town

A Little Further Down The Track



O Lord, Every God-damn Turn I Take

I Fear The Noose, I Fear The Stake

For There Is No Bone

They Did Not Break

In All The Towns I've Been Before



Well Those That Sin Against Me Are Snuffed Out

I Know From Every Day That I Live

God-damn The Day That I Was Born

The Night That Forced Me From The Womb

And God-damn This Town

For I Am Leaving Now

But One Day I Will Return

And The People Of This Town Will Surely See

Just How Quickly The Tables Turn



O Sweet Jesus

This Really Is The End

There Is Always One More Town

A Little Further Round The End
