In the fields of the lord
Stood Abel and Cain
Cain slew Abel 'neath the black rain
At night he couldn't stand the guilt or the blame
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bruce+springsteen/gave+it+a+name_20025220.html ]
Billy got drunk, angry at his wife
He hit her once, he hit her twice
At night he'd lie in bed, he couldn't stand the shame
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name
So he gave it a name

Pa told me Son, one thing I know is true
Poison snakes bites you, you're poison too
At night I can feel that poison runnin' 'round my veins
