Smuggler’s Waltz / Bronx Lullabye
by Tom Waits

Daggers of moonlight
Murder the sheets
And the stink of a four dollar room

And Daddy’s gone a hunting
For a dime bag schoolboy
Tied up with a yellow balloon

So hush little baby, Daddy must go
I cover you up with a blanket of snow
By the time I make Jersey
You’ll be in heaven
In a pretty blue shoe box I know

So sing a song of ten grand
With a pocket full of dough
And I can’t take you to Baltimore

Wake God up in Heaven
Have him look down below
There’s a little lost angel
Blooming in the snow
