Thieves' Lament
There’s noses on yer trail, so careful where ye tread. The road grows ever-rocky with that price upon yer head.
The bone collector’s wagon is nigh upon yer heels. Don’t let yer burdens drag ye down beneath misfortune’s wheels! We thieves are all like rainbows, no good until it rains, and lawmen need no halos to put a soul in chains. So keep yer boots on dreamin’, and a pistol near yer bed, ‘cause the Devil, he’s comin’ and he wants us sinners dead.
