I was riding on an old black train
I was level neath the floor
Went upon my only wedding ring
Leave my ashes 'neath the door

Come sing me down the lane
I am older than sin
Come sing me down the lane
I am the mother and the father and the pain

I was broken like a china plate
A dog that's chokin' on a bone
Went to bed about an hour late
Got a belly made of coal

Come sing me down the lane
I am older than sin
Come sing me down the lanе
I am the mother and the fathеr and the pain

It all comes burning down
It all comes burning down
Tonight

I was older than an old oak tree
That was bendin' 'neath the storm
Let the fire fall all over me
Turn to ashes in the morn
Come sing me down the lane
I am older than sin
Come sing me down the lane
I am the mother and the father and the pain

Come sing me down the lane
I am older than sin
Come sing me down the lane
I am the mother and the father and the pain

It all comes burning down
It all comes burning down
It all comes burning down
Tonight
