Caledonia Mission Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus 1]
The watchman covers me
With his remedies
I can't see, it's hard to feel
I think his magic might be real

[Verse 2]
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
You know he thinks it's just a lie
To get out, I don't doubt
That you'd make a try

[Chorus 2]
And if the good times get you through
I know the dogs won't bother you
We'll be gone in moonshine time
I got a place they'll never find

[Verse 3]
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 we're just a con
You knew it, why'd you do it?
I've been hiding in the dark

[Chorus 3]
Now I must be on my way
I guess you really have to stay
Inside the mission wall
Down in Modock, Arkansas
