Just a story about a hat possessed by the evil spirit of its former owner
lyrics
Dead Man’s Hat
What goes up when the rain comes down?
A dead man’s hat.
Stackalee was a bad man
Shot Jethro three times dead
Whose soul escaped his body
Into the hat upon his head
Chorus:
What goes up when the rain comes down?
A dead man’s hat.
Cattle are all spooked
Crying baby in your arms
Dog bolts out the yard
Rats all leave the farm
What goes up when the rain comes down?
A dead man’s hat.
Dead eyed black heart Jethro
Been dead a long time gone
The evil in his hat
Lingers on and on
Chorus
The evil hat could not be worn
Though many a brave soul tried
Everything it touched
Shrivelled up and died.
Got the album cos I love the track Evil Driving Rain by the Wattingers. The rest of the tracks are an added bonus. Great compilation and brill value for the money. Robert Wallace
