Track #7: Just a Crush

Lyrics:

Hush, my baby, hush
This ain't love it's just a crush
And pray, my baby, pray
Hope to God he goes away
And cry, my baby cry
Anything is worth a try
But hush, my baby, hush
If he hears you scream he gets a rush

His dogs are running all around
I figure they're inbred
They're all crooked, they're all wicked
And I don't think they've been fed
And his neighbors would feel better
If he chained 'em up instead
He's got a Chevy in the back yard
Built in 1964
Body still looks pretty good
But it don't run no more
And there's still blood in the back seat
And them shoes that hooker wore

So hush, my baby, hush
This ain't love it's just a crush
And pray, my baby, pray
Hope to God he goes away
And cry, my baby cry
Anything is worth a try
But hush, my baby, hush
If he hears you scream he gets a rush

He lived up in that shack
He never had no name
A roof that needed patching
Weren't nothing in the rain
He kept a sickle by the front door
He said he used for cutting cane
And he grew up on them mountains
Where all them folks are poor
And then there were the rumors
'Bout what he did behind them doors
He never knew his daddy
He went to jail for killing whores

So hush, my baby, hush
This ain't love it's just a crush
And pray, my baby, pray
Hope to God he goes away
And cry, my baby cry
Anything is worth a try
But hush, my baby, hush
If he hears you scream he gets a rush

Jeb Hollins was a good man
He never did no wrong
At night he worked the still
Sometimes he stayed too long
One morning when he come home
He found all his daughters gone
So he went up on the mountain
And he took along his kin (Neebo, Wasco, Soncy)
They were gonna burn the shack down
Burn up everything within (Skeeter, Sticker, Scurvis)
Yeah, but no one's ever heard
From the Hollins clan again

So hush, my baby, hush
This ain't love it's just a crush
And pray, my baby, pray
Hope to God he goes away
And cry, my baby cry
Anything is worth a try
But hush, my baby, hush
If he hears you scream he gets a rush
Hush, my baby, hush
If he hears you scream he gets a rush
Hush, my baby, hush
This ain't love it's just a crush
