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
An earthy yet somewhat chilly record about life, death, and reconnection, the latest from LOMA experiments with a turn towards the gloomy. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
