Fred Eaglesmith - White Ash & Black Ash Lyrics

For eight days in a row now I stood by my window
They're coming
I know that they're coming for me
I loved a woman but she wasn't human
There's no use in trying to make 'em see

White ash and black ash
Sharp edges strong back
I been a bad man
Them are the facts
Got an old leather bible
And a buffalo rifle
There won't be a trial
And I know that

Down by the water I caught me an otter
And after I shot it I boiled it down
Hiding for rope
Tarrow for soap
Put the rest in a pot in stir it around

White ash and black ash
Sharp edges strong back
I been a bad man
Them are the facts
Got an old leather bible
And a buffalo rifle
There won't be a trial
And I know that

White ash and black ash
Sharp edges strong back
I been a bad man
And I know that
