Floppy Boot Stomp

Lyrics

The floppy boot stomped down into the ground
 the farmer screamed 'n blew the sky off the mountains
 eye sockets looked down on the chestbone mountains
 'n the sun dropped down, 'n the moon ran off,
 his heels 'n elbows pale as chalk
 'n all the comets collided 'n blew t' dust
 for fear they'd be seen.
 'n the sky turned white in the middle of the night
 'n the sky turned white in the middle of the night
 'n the big floppy boot stomped down into the ground
 'n the red violin took the bow
 to do the hoodoo hoe-down
 'n the red violin took the bow
 for to do the hoodoo hoe-down
 the farmer jumped in ah circle 'n flung his chalk right down
 do-si-do the devil sho' showed 'n he broke of his horns
 'n fiddled him down the road
 through the fork
 'n the farmer's floppy boot stomped down
 red tail squirmin' and the hot leg kicked
 'n the fire leaped 'n licked
 and when the boot came up, the fire went out
 and hell was just an ice cube melting off on the ground.
 and the bold caught down for to do the hoodoo hoedown
 and the bold caught down for to do the hoodoo, the devil hoedown
 to the fork, huddlin' in a hollow, standin' at the crossroads
 with that bunged-up bandaged broken bum that fell in the wrong circle
 he had a sole red tail
