Brian Jin - Masonic Henry's Daughter

Crawl across the water
The sun is setting low
Masonic Henry's daughter
She had to pay the toll

He's just a simple boat man
Don't know nothin' bout the blues
So, Masonic Henry's daughter
Had to pay for all his dues

Somebody called the police
and the Times-Picayune
For Masonic Henry's daughter
Must have spun her own cocoon

Broken bottles on the tin roof
Of a riverside lean-to
Where Masonic Henry's daughter
Was being force-fed all the screws

Nobody heard around the parish
All the ways they made her scream
Masonic Henry's daughter
Had to hide inside a dream

Mother love could never comfort
Heavy trauma to the soul
Masonic Henry's daughter
Was discovered in a hole

Now, some people pay in plastic
Yeah, some people pay in green
Masonic Henry's daughter
Was the fee, so now he's clean
