when things turn out death gets hir chance to sing

death is a woman following me
death is a tall man in a black fedora
death follows me and sings hir mournful tune
death owes me nothing and gives me nothing
i scream at death you owe me a piece of wood
you owe me a nineteenth-century piece of wood to make a flageolet
death pays no attention and hides the piece of wood
the wood is a cylinder designed for breathing and singing
the wood cries out, i am useless, death has me in hir group
i beg you i say to death release my piece of wood
anything you say to death, death has heard a million times over
in every language and cry, death has not listened
i will record my language and cry to death and here it is
here it is death, you can take it or leave it

viola and sarangi, Azure Carter, voice/song

FAST FAST FIDDLE


for all you fiddlers out there
for Charlie beaten the devil I beat you
for great Jerry E. and the firecracker boys and girls
for the Swedish monk on Wednesdays in Morgantown WV
for Stephen Dydo and his snap-to-em hands
I got you all beat
I got you run around circles in you
I got your circles coming back to your circles
I don't leave the straight path the crooked path
for all you fiddlers out there I'm the new guy in town
Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania Rules!!!
