Hailstones

On the first day in my tin shack

I took cocaine and I took crack

And I heard the hailstones falling down

And in those hailstones I drown

On the second day in my shack of tin

I took angel dust and heroin

And the hailstones I heard them fall

I thought I heard God call

And the hailstones

On the third day in my house of tin

I took strychnine

On the fourth day in my tin home

I made a chapel all alone

By crucifixes I did lie

Then I heard a voice cry

And the hailstones

On the fifth day in my home of tin

A voice came from within

Outside the hailstones did fall

It wasn’t God who did call

And the hailstones

And on the sixth day in my tin home

I died all alone

On the seventh day

Hailstones heavy as lead beat me

Till I was dead
