Calexico - Crooked Road And The Briar Lyrics
Down the crooked road a ways
A child's shadow hiding in the briar
Tending to a twisted heart that's bent and broken
Wounded and abandoned left amongst the rotted root to rot
Rose marie's walking down the crooked road a ways
All aglow, her fair white skin
Portrait of beauty, angel to many
Hears the hush crying from the briar
Reaches in her hand to see what's the matter
And is dragged through the darkness
Beneath the lonely cypress
The town's beloved daughter
Carried to her death in the turbid waters
And set afloat downstream
Whole town erupts, bursts into flame
Parties go a-searching down the crooked road a ways
Find old rufus there drunk and asleep
Fishing by the water must have killed our beloved daughter
Can't hold back these waves of anger
Tie a rope around his neck
See if he still hollers
Another innocent soul hangs over the briar

Calexico Crooked Road And The Briar Comments
The foo fighters wished they were as musical as this 😁😁😁😁
A haunting song, musically and lyrically. Chilling, even. But gorgeous!
la mejor!
Anthemic.
Love this band, and this is one hell of a tune. Dark just isn't in it - puts the pretend 'gruesome metal' genre as demonstrated by Slipknot and Marylin Manson in the bin where they belong...
yes great fu#king band
thanks
Love this song!! Viva Calexico!!
