The Old Black Hen Video (MV)

Verse 1:

Old Black Hen, is that you again,

Singing the bad luck lullaby?

Come right on in, 'cause its midnight again,

Time for the bad luck lullaby,

You know the one, its the same now you sung,

When you worked on the revelations.

Verse 2:

Singing over the cradle of the child who's born next

The bad luck lullaby.

Leave all the truth in so they know what comes next,

With the bad luck lullaby.

Even the true love that they never find,

So they're looking for it all of their lives.

Verse 3:

When I saw the banner hanging over my door,

And heard the bad luck lullaby,

I already knew who the party was for,

The bad luck lullaby.

All of my pain found a partner in that room,

And the Devil's tail swayed with the tune.


Verse 4:

Make that black record, roll the tapes all night long,

The bad luck lullaby.

Make that black record,

and we'll all sing along,

To the bad luck lullaby.

Look down the long street and see who's that crying.

Tell em' everyday I live I was trying,

To sing the blues the way I find em'.
