lyrics

Rocky, Joe, and Bundy were sittin' near the pier
Drinkin' what they had and eatin' what was near
Telling all their stories though they’d heard 'em all before
Wonderin' what brought them here warmin' by the devil’s fire
Rocky says now boy’s you all know my tale
Thrown out by my wife and left to hit the rails
She took up with a younger man who had himself a car
Now here I sit with all of you warmin' by the devil’s fire
That ain’t nothing says Joe tossing his gravel to the sea
You can never beat the way that she did me
That car broke down one evening on the way to see her ma
She jumped in with a truck driver left me warmin' by the devil’s fire
Bundy says now fellas there ain’t no need to fight
You can’t blame the woman for doin' what she thinks is right
She stole that truck when she left me but it’s all the same
She’s down in the penitentiary, we’re warm by the devil’s fire
Come Rocky, Joe, and Bundy and all you sinners on the road
Pull up a piece of gravel let down your heavy load
Take a swig outta that bottle when it’s comin' by
And tell us all what has you warmin’ by the devil’s fire

about

Charlie Parr Duluth, Minnesota

"Parr is scruffy and uncomfortable looking, with a longish beard and balding head. He dropped out of high school in the 1980s, but he looks older than that. He's pathologically deadpan in his delivery of in between song banter. The crowd really enjoyed his depressingly hilarious dead cat story. He never smiles." - Lucy Steigerwald
