Saw all them colours in the black room
Heard all ’em moving ridin’ black light
Saw all them colours in the black room
Ride far away in the black night
Next day come said t’were thunder shook the rockin’ porch
N’ said t’were lightnin’ done lit up our sky
Daddy said t’were thunder shook the rockin’ porch
But mammy said t’were Daddy’s gun
Sure made them colours nice
