[00:00:00] Maddox Table (LP版) - 10000 Maniacs

[00:00:01] Written by：Merchant Natalie

[00:00:16] The legs of maddox kitchen tables

[00:00:21] My whole life twisted on a lathe

[00:00:28] In a foreman's torrent

[00:00:30] My first english was

[00:00:32] Faster boy if you want your pay

[00:00:35] Barking commands

[00:00:37] Loud and simple

[00:00:39] We could all obey

[00:00:42] Then I was forever pulling silvers

[00:00:47] Rubbed the sawdust always

[00:00:50] Deeper in my eye

[00:00:54] Varnish vapor that could linger

[00:00:58] On my skin

[00:00:59] It held tight

[00:01:01] The whine of spinning blades

[00:01:03] Still echoes to bother my sleep at night

[00:01:07] See that ox

[00:01:08] Stamped dead center

[00:01:10] On the letter head of the company mail

[00:01:14] Four decades a spitting image

[00:01:16] Of the animal I portrayed

[00:01:20] At maddox table a yoke was carved

[00:01:23] For my neck

[00:01:27] Sun through the window oil spattered

[00:01:32] And in mason jars

[00:01:34] Tricked plenty seeds thrive

[00:01:39] The standing joke

[00:01:41] Around the shop was

[00:01:42] With my green thumb

[00:01:44] Anything'd grow

[00:01:45] My part was to laugh

[00:01:47] Show and ornery jig had

[00:01:49] Cut it at the knuckle bone

[00:01:52] See that ox

[00:01:53] Trade mark burned

[00:01:55] Into every stick of furniture

[00:01:57] From horn to tail

[00:01:59] Four decades a spitting image

[00:02:01] Of the animal I portrayed

[00:02:05] At maddox table a yoke was carved

[00:02:08] For my neck

[00:02:10] Was tailor made

[00:02:23] O my Dolly was a weak

[00:02:26] Not a burdened girl

[00:02:30] Treat her to a piece of vaudville

[00:02:34] A wintergarden moving picture show

[00:02:38] Bemus point on July Sundays

[00:02:41] By trolley we'd go

[00:02:56] To your benefit we's strike or bargain

[00:03:00] With the waving fist a union man

[00:03:03] Not just for

[00:03:04] Smokes spirits candy and cologne

[00:03:06] But for

[00:03:06] Automobile keys

[00:03:08] Cash in the bank

[00:03:09] And the deed

[00:03:11] On a place called home
