Lyric Caledonia Mission

She reads the leaves and she leads the life
That she learned so well from the old wives
It s so strange to arrange it, you know I wouldn t change it
But hear me if you re near me, can I just rearrange it?
The watchman covers me
With his remedy
I can t see and it s hard to feel
I think his magic might be real

I can t get to you from your garden gate
You know it s always locked by the magistrate
Now he don t care why you cry, he thinks it s just a lie
To get out, I don t doubt that you d make a try
If the good times get you through
I know the dogs won t bother you
We ll be gone in moonshine time
I ve got a place they ll never find

You know I do believe in your hexagram
But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?
Did you trip or slip on their gifts, you know you were just a con?
You knew it, why d you do it, I ve been hiding in the dark
Now I must be on my way
I guess you really have to stay
Inside the mission law
Down in Modock, Arkansas
