Causeway Road

They call me Danny Fingers and how I got that name is the source of some contention so let me set it all straight I set out for vindication for my brother's lost soul after a dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road I started fishing with my Daddy back in '73 We made enough from the quota we could start a little fleet Heard Ronny's got an old Cape Island that he'll sell for a steal Thirty foot with a Detroit diesel  and a hell of a keel So we bought a boat for my brother and his own tag too Built the traps with my Daddy like my Daddy used to do and God damn on the first day of fishing not a mile from his home my brother took an ungodly load of water every seam on the hull let go It was a dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road A dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road Well my Mamma's still cryin' my Daddy took to the drink Me I just got angry with all the time to think Ronny's gonna have to meet his own maker I'm gonna go it alone How's my brother supposed to get himself to heaven when we never did find his bones I got some old booze bottles loaded with kerosine Stuffed rags down the necks of em and grabbed some TNT Then I drank up the courage grabbed my navy cut smokes to avenge the dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road that dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road Untied my boat from her mooring lit up a cigarette Came on the gas a little heavy and I slipped on the deck Well as God as my witness I never will forget that smell My cigarette caught a bottle brought all the fury of Hell Floated through Three Fathom Harbour round The Reserve and The Wedge The tide spit me out in the morning on the other side of Rudy's Head How long I was out for Buddy it's hard to know I'll tell ya one thing for certain I blew off my fingers and my toes It was a dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road A dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road Well her keel is still sitting in the seaside sands I had to give up fishing on account of my hands Well if you're looking for a lesson when it comes to revenge You better leave it to the ocean She's gonna win in the end  with a dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road A dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road Beware of a dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road Just another dark and dirty betrayal on the Causeway Road --- Causeway Road - Adam Baldwin
