Reddleman Coming Lyrics - Singles - Rainmakers

(B. Walkenhorst) 

On the day that I was born 

Cross the plain come a red dust storm 

First the wind, then the rain 

Streaks of blood down the windowpane 

Hole in the roof, leak on the bed 

Bad baptism on the baby's head 

Mama cried the curse is come 

The mark of the reddleman's on my son 

Reddleman coming 

He's coming for me 

Reddleman coming 

Learn to crawl, learn to eat 

Walk and talk that double-speak 

Hide my heart and show my hand 

Listen in the dark for the reddleman 

He come selling that dirt that stain your soul 

Saying this don't hurt anyone at all 

Just sink your eyes into little girl lost 

But don't waste your time, it don't wash off 

CHORUS 

Late in life I fell in love uptown 

With a one-armed woman who'd been around 

I said how my love did you lose your hand 

She said a pound of flesh for the reddleman 

A daughter born, a father sees 

There's a red in the thread of the web he weaves 

Clean his clothes in the holy font 

But the rank of the reddle come back to haunt 

CHORUS 

Red hawk sits on a telephone pole 

Watch to see which way I go 

When I fall and when I stand 

And tells it all to the reddleman
