He put it out; it meant nothing in the world to him, so he put it out,
His hunger needed some attention, so he laid it out,
Swapped it all for a bowl of pork and beans, and he got put out,
Left for poor by a man of means,
Here we go...

Too sore - your soul,
You gave it away,
Esau, you salted the tear, couldn't get it back again.

Yeah, she put it out,
He put the heat on, she got too hot, so she put it out,
Gives in a little, but she's giving him a lot,
She lays it out,
She's showing all her prized possessions to him and she's putting out,
Swapping everything for what he's fitting in, but the lamp goes out,
She didn't notice the light was growing dim, and so he goes out,
And he takes everything that she had with him,
Here we go...

Tamar, babe, you should've run away,
Tamar, babe, you saw it coming,
Did you have to stay, and stay and play?
Tamar, babe, where was your head that day?
Tamar, he took your best and left,
You left it too late.

Oh, too late, too late,
Too late, too late,
Too late, too late,
Too late, too late.

Here we come now,
2, 1, 2, 3, hey.

Ashes for your veil,
Ashes for your veil,
A veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes, babe,
Veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes,
Veil of ashes, babe,
Veil of ashes, hey,
Come on, go,
Go, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.
