lyrics

DEVIL’S TAXI

I see the leaves, they're turning brown
The sky an awful shade of amber
We went walking down, Sherwood Forest
Didn’t see Friar Tuck or Little John

Chorus:
I’m in a Devil’s Taxi
It's taking me, ‘round & ‘round
I’m in a Devil’s Taxi
Taking me further down

I’m in a Devil’s Taxi
With a stone stuck in my shoe
Got my gear loaded, gonna make some money
Gonna pay some dues

Chorus:
I’m in a Devil’s Taxi
It’s taking me ‘round and ‘round
I’m in a Devil’s Taxi
Taking me further down

The Sheriff said, “He’s a robber all the same”
“Gonna hang him up, gonna watch him dangle”
But with this arrow, I’m gonna pierce the Sheriff’s heart
Should be apples for the poor not just the rich and tart

Chorus:
I’m in a Devil’s Taxi
It’s taking me ‘round and ‘round
I’m in a Devil’s Taxi
Taking me further down

I see the leaves, they're turning brown
The sky an awful shade of amber
And we went walking down Sherwood Forest
Didn’t see Friar Tuck or Little John
