Disgruntled Farrier

spent all my life
shoeing horses an' I
don't have a hoof to show
for it

made music
from my bellows
they said it was a
tenor fart in the wind
satan's chorus of those who
sinned

the ring
oh but the ring
in my anvil disguised
for a church bell they're
sending me to hell

butch cassidy trafficking
jesse james robbing with lady mules
jenny covering up her face up to her eyes
the bandana hiding no smallpox scars only the
disease of religious lies

wonder how
the crooks will
do it in the year 2013
the livery stable and telegraph
banished for an opium den and
online recruiting take away the horseshoe
nail the cross spreading jaded religious bling
