about

Can love be found in the logging town.

lyrics

Madame Clarke

No man alive
Will ever have his way
Matron of a loggers town
That’s what she used to say
Command respect
With a bull whip at her thigh
The priest would try to go down
Come up with black eyes

Every man’s thirst they say
Needs to be quenched
When the fires are burning
You can’t put’em out by hand
But the young mothers
Who are babies still themselves
Are all for gotten
Put up on the shelf

Madame Clarke
Hell is on the horizon
Madame Clarke
Oh hell is on it’s way

The Lord they say
Works mysteriously
Everything is fine
If you don’t spill your seed.
But the Devils there
At his beckoning
All these roads of intentions
We were paving.

Madame Clarke
Hell is on the horizon
Madame Clarke
Oh hell is on its way

Madame Clarke
Hell is on the horizon
Madame Clarke
Oh hell is on it’s way

Babies are all suffering
Mamas they all cry
Church, it looks the other way
Counting up its tithe
Madame Clarke snap your whip
Like a crack of lightening’
Hell is on the horizon
And it is frightening’

Madame Clarke
Hell is on the horizon
Madame Clarke
Oh hell is on it’s way

Madame Clarke
Hell is on the horizon
Madame Clarke
Oh hell is on it’s way

Madame Clarke snap your whip
Like a crack of lightenin’
Cause hell is on the horizon
And it’s coming after him.
