God said don't give me your Tin horn prayers Don't buy roses off the street down there Took it all and took the dirt road home Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair Night is falling like a bloody axe Lies and rumors and the wind at my back Hand on the wheel gravel on the road Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I"m gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond Birds cry warning from a hidden branch Carving out a future with a gun and an axe I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand The worlds not easy the blind man said Turns on nothing but money and dread Dogs been scratching at the door all night Long neck birds flying out of the moon light I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I"m gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie The star spangled glitter of his one good eye Everybody knows that the game was rigged Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig Dark town alleys been hiding you Long bell tolling is your waterloo Oh baby what can you do Does the light of god blind you Or lead the way home for you? I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I"m gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond God all mighty for righteousness sake Humiliation of our fallen state Written in the book of tubold Cain A long black over coat will show no stain Feel the heat and the burn on your back The rip and the moan and the stretch of the rack All my belongings in a flour sack Will the place I come from Take me back I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I"m gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond They'll hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big To dance upon nothing to the tyborn jig Treats you like a puppet when your under its spell Oh the heart is heaven But the mind is hell Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds I's born at this time for a reason you see When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time But the wines so pleasing and so sublime I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I"m gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree Everything I done is between God and me Only he will judge how my time was spent 29 days of sinning and 40 to repent The horse is steady but the horse is blind Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind The roots grow upwared and the branches grow down Its much too late to throw the dice again I've found I'm gonna take the sins of my father I'm gonna take the sins of my mother I"m gonna take the sins of my brother Down to the pond I'm gonna wash them [2x] I'm gonna wash the sins of my Father I'm gonna wash the sins of my Mother I'm gonna wash the sins of my Brother Till the water runs clear [2x]
this album resonates in my laptop on the exact wrong frequency, so his vocals distort to hell, its a fun artifact for all of two minutes, then i want to smash this fking thing
This song is about 10 minutes long. I usually allow 40 minutes for repeat listenings. That is about how long it takes to wrestle the controls for the musical source from me. Sometimes only 11:03 if someone is a skilled tickler

because if you look past the twilight films, she was in some really good movies like Into the Wild, Adventureland, On the road...just a bunch! And usually, really cool songs like this are in the soundtrack...I can just see her acting with this in the background lol idk
Am I the only one who thinks this songs gets dangerously close to being too long do to it's preptition? I think it fits well in the context of the album, but it's not the most interesting song to sit down and listen to. It's good as BGM, but it barely holds up on its own. I say this as someone who whole heatedly believes that this is by far Waits's best album, just ahead of "Bone Machine" as it seemed to perfect all of the ideas he was going for on "Bone Machine". It's not a bad song, I just don't get the repetitiveness. If it's supposed to so who be thematic, I don't get it.
Nah you're not alone on this issue. Most fans say this song damages the pacing of Real Gone by being too long. Personally I feel the song could've been 7mins at least to keep it from being too repetitive and slightly overstaying its welcome. It fits in the context of the album but I think it should have been put somewhere later in the tracklist instead of so early in the album which halts the momentum a lot. This is the reason "Real Gone", while being my 2nd favorite Tom Waits album has not yet overtaken "Bone Machine" which to me doesn't have this problem.

This album was his masterpiece. Sounds like it was recorded behind a barn at 3 O'clock in the morning in 1935.
Absolutely... his greatest masterpiece. I've thought so ever since it dropped in 2004.
Minus the delay of course
He had many masterpieces. This is hardly the only one
Don't get me wrong- I LOVE this album, but Bone Machine and Frank's Wild Years were also perfection.
Can't stop listening ❤
Up there as potentially my favorite song ever
God said don't give me your
Tin horn prayers
Don't buy roses off the street down there
Took it all and took the dirt road home
Dreaming of Jenny with the light brown hair
Night is falling like a bloody axe
Lies and rumors and the wind at my back
Hand on the wheel gravel on the road
Will the pawn shop sell me back what I sold
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
Down to the pond
Birds cry warning from a hidden branch
Carving out a future with a gun and an axe
I'm way beyond the gavel and the laws of man
Still living in the palm of the grace of your hand
The worlds not easy the blind man said
Turns on nothing but money and dread
Dogs been scratching at the door all night
Long neck birds flying out of the moon light
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
Down to the pond
Smack dab in the middle of a dirty lie
The star spangled glitter of his one good eye
Everybody knows that the game was rigged
Justice wears suspenders and a powdered wig
Dark town alleys been hiding you
Long bell tolling is your waterloo
Oh baby what can you do
Does the light of god blind you
Or lead the way home for you?
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
Down to the pond
God all mighty for righteousness sake
Humiliation of our fallen state
Written in the book of tubold Cain
A long black over coat will show no stain
Feel the heat and the burn on your back
The rip and the moan and the stretch of the rack
All my belongings in a flour sack
Will the place I come from
Take me back
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
Down to the pond
They'll hang me in the morning on a scaffold yea big
To dance upon nothing to the tyborn jig
Treats you like a puppet when your under its spell
Oh the heart is heaven
But the mind is hell
Jesus of Nazareth told Mike of the weeds
I's born at this time for a reason you see
When I'm dead I'll be dead a long time
But the wines so pleasing and so sublime
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
Down to the pond
Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree
Everything I done is between God and me
Only he will judge how my time was spent
29 days of sinning and 40 to repent
The horse is steady but the horse is blind
Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind
The roots grow upwared and the branches grow down
Its much too late to throw the dice again I've found
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
I'm gonna take the sins of my mother
I"m gonna take the sins of my brother
Down to the pond
I'm gonna wash them [2x]
I'm gonna wash the sins of my Father
I'm gonna wash the sins of my Mother
I'm gonna wash the sins of my Brother
Till the water runs clear [2x]
I sat down to read some of it, sudddenly I was 15 years back and 10 minutes had passed.
Smelling Like a Brewery Looking Like a Tramp Ain't Got a Quarter Got a Postage Stamp
It's Tubalcain; it's a name.
I'm asthmatic after this song. This guy is untouchably good.

Everything I done is between God and me

Same here...but God knows this of me.

Down to the pond
Down to the pond
Kissed my sweetheart by the chinaball tree
Everything I done is between God and me
Only he will judge how my time was spent
Twenty-nine days of sinning and forty to repent
The horse is steady, but the horse is blind
Wicked are the branches on the tree of mankind
The roots grow upward and the branches grow down
It's much too late to throw the dice again, I've found
I'm gonna take the sins of my father
