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?

 The watchman covers me
 With his remedy
 I can't see and it's hard to feel
 I think his magic might be real

 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, he thinks it's just a lie
 To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try

 If the good times get you through
 I know the dogs won't bother you
 We'll be gone in moonshine time
 I've got a place they'll never find

 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 were just a con?
 You knew it, why'd you do it? I've been hiding in the dawn

 Now I must be on my way
 I guess you really have to stay
 Inside the mission walls
 Down in Modark, Arkansas
