Ain't Never Seen Shit Like That

She's comin' down the mountain
Ain't never seen shit like that
She's comin' down the mountain
Ain't never seen shit like that
Rollin' on like a thunder storm
Smilin' like a Cheshire cat

Well your'e raisin' sand baby
Ain't never seen shit like that
Well your'e raisin' sand baby
Ain't never seen shit like that
Smash that mountain with your eyelash
Baby you know where it's at

What's that guitar playin'?
Ain't never heard shit like that
Who's that guitar player'
Ain't never heard shit like that
Robert Johnson's at the cross-roads
Playin' with the devil's hand

Looks like the Klu Klux Klan
Ain't never seen shit like this
Looks like the Klu Klux Klan
Ain't never seen shit like this
When Bessie Smith started howlin' at 'em
You know they runned away and hid

Vigilantes burnt the trailers
Ain't never seen shit like that
Vigilantes burnt the trailers
You ever seen shit like that
Woody Guthrie sang about it in a dust-bowl ballade
Looks like it ain't over yet

What's that you're sayin'?
Ain't never heard shit like that before
What's that you're sayin'?
Ain't never heard shit like that before
Politician trade his place with a hobo
Give his pay rise to the poor

Play my Stella with a switch-blade
Ain't never heard shit like that
Play my Stella with a switch-blade
Ain't never heard shit like that
W.C. Handy saw it comin'
Put the blues in every land
