Hannah Leah

Rat a tap tap
Oh don’t you come and ask
Am I a coming back
The sky has gone black on us
Don’t you weep
Blame myself for these things
Known I was stronger than he
And all you weaklings knew it
Toodle loo
They all abandoned you
One bruised and another screwed
But I was the only loved

Oh Hannah Leah
I was the only love

Keep that bed
Now brother keep that rug
Lord knows I was given so much
And the devil keeps me fed
On the wall. On the stove -
And in the blank book you draw
There are signs of Hannah Leah
There are signs of our love

Oh Hannah Leah
There are signs of love
On a black blue night
I go a wandering
Out over Houston
Along Avenue A

Hannah Leah
On Avenue A

Ku Klux Klan
There’s evil in every man
Come love her when you can
And see about Hannah Leah
