Coco-Yam Song
John Darnielle
[Intro: sample]
(But I'm always true to you darling in my fashion)
(Yes, I'm always true to you darling in my way…)
[Verse 1]
A neighboring clan went on the attack
And stole all the giant coco-yams from the barn out back
I will make them pay for taking my yams away
[Verse 2]
I carved out little figurines of thieves
Burned a palmful of red dust from the medicine bag
Broke a kola nut in half, I ate half of it myself
Sat back and watched the evening drag
I will make them regret that they haven't brought my yams back yet
