lyrics

Wake up scout there's something smoking in the trees
the nightingales are fleeing and the mad dog's in the street
Papas got the answers and your brother thinks he knows
the neighborhood's on the fire the camellias are frosted cold

Jean Louise I'll tell you that your bare feet are still too loud
for sneaking through the garden you've got bells on your ankles and the belfry's in the ground
lilacs and violets and a shotgun blast
the mockingbirds in whispers like the sky before the flash

The neighborhood is lit up bright
and all the town is shooting wild
run along Jean Louse while you're still a child

Teacher's got an apple and trouble put a rose in your hair
last night you heard people fighting on the court house stairs
the jury got their man and the judge had little to say
there's a finch in your hand scout you better let it fly away

Lightening in the morning and thunder in the afternoon
rain in the evening and you'll be a woman soon
there's a sparrow in your pocket it fell from the cedar tree
everyone's got something keeping them from being free

The neighborhood is lit up bright
and all the town is shooting wild
run along Jean Louse while you're still a child
