The Curse of Elkhart

curse has laid o'er this wretched land
Most of the folks here don't give a [bad word] Should I bide my time or start the fight?
Wait for the sound of [bad word] pounding in the night

Ah ah ah ah

Sit down for a spell
Have I got a story for you
One that the old folks tell
Would you believe it's [bad word] 

Whether God is great or the folly of man
The faithful and the fools all have the same plan
Wait for something to happen so they don't have to act
Cowards and [bad word] in the same pack, oh

Sit down for a spell
Have I got a story for you
One that the old folks tell
Would you believe it's [bad word] 

Ah ah ah ah

The lakes are boiling, the rivers swell
Spirits are restless. Can't you hear them yell?

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
