Lyrics
Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name (had no name) I swear he had no name
Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down Come on down & make the stand
As I crawled beneath the searchlights Looking through the floorboards of this life I met doctor strangeloves cousin He bore the marks of time "Hey! trashcan where you going boy Your eyes are feet apart Is that the end you're carrying shall I play the funeral march" (play the march) "Play the funeral march"
Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down Come on down & we'll make the stand
Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down Come on down, we'll make the stand
When I looked out the window On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open The plague claimed man and son Four men at a grave in silence with hats bowed down in grace A simple wooden cross It had no epitaph engraved (it had no) It had no epitaph engraved
Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down Come on and make the stand
Come on down & meet your maker Come on down & make the stand Come on down, come on down Come on down, & we'll make the stand
