Letra de Goose Walking Over My Grave

She said, "Punch me in the stomach."
I said "Girl, I do not know
"If I punch you in the stomach
"Then our child inside will not grow."
She said, "If you truly love me
"You'll do this thing for me."
So I punched her in the stomach
And she fell down to both of her knees
Lay-low, lay-low, lay-low low
There's a goose walking over my grave
Lay-low, lay-low, lay-low low
There's a goose walking over my grave
And we went on down the mountain
We paid up for the county fair
All the men they spied her flat gut
And the women sent birds up to air
Then we found ourselves a half-breed
To tell us our fortune today
And he painted my hands a deep dark red
Said, "Now, boy, you know that you gotta pay."
Well she spat, she swore, and she ground all her teeth
Then she swelled up all her veins
She said, "Mister, for claimin' all that you know
"Don't you know my brother's bird-brained?"
"Hey, whoa, back up, girl, didn't you hear the half-breed
"Sayin' somethin' 'bout...well, I don't know."
Yeah, she pulled me away by my goose-fleshed flesh
She's too late; I caught up to my slow
We went back up the mountain;
We sat down upon our front porch
And come yonder carryin' a bucket
Was our child doin' his chores
So we drunk down a bucket of choke-cherry wine
And she dunked her thumbs inside
With her thumbs dyed red she grabbed my head
And she gouged out both of my eyes
Lay-low, lay-low, lay-low low
There's a goose walking over my grave
Lay-low, lay-low, lay-low low
There's a goose walking over my grave
So I drug her down the mountain
Turned her over to the town youths
As she lay there squibblin' and squallin'
I said "girl, well now you're my goose."
Then she crawled up to me
On her bloody red knees
And said "why did you do this to me?"
I said, "sister, let me tell you what you do not know
"I was blind but now I can see
"I was blind but now I see."
