  24 Crickets are chirpin', the water is high,

  26 There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry.

  28 Window wide open, African trees

  30 Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze.

  34 She gone with the man in the long black coat.

  36 Somebody seen him hangin' around
  37 At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town.
  38 He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
  39 If he wanted to dance, he had a face like a mask.
  40 Somebody said from the bible he'd quote
  41 There was dust on the man in the long black coat.
  42
  43 Preacher was talking, there's a sermon he gave
  44 He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
  45 You cannot depend on it to be your guide
  46 When it's you who must keep it satisfied
  47 It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat
  48 She gave her heart to the man in the long black coat.

  55 It is true sometimes you can see it that way

  63 There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June
  64 Tree trunks unprooted 'neath the high crescent moon
  65 Feel the pulse and vibration and the rumbling force
  66 Somebody is out there beating on a dead horse
  67 She never said nothing, there was nothing she wrote
  68 She gone with the man in the long black coat.
