I was roaming through the north lands of
poutine, ice and snow
my guitar in hand, well, you know that I planned
to be drunk down cider road and it's
it's there I met a fiddle player
a rogue of high renown
and the greatest highwayman
that ever I had found
that I've found
so all you rabble rousers who
come from wide and far
you'd best hide your cider
from the apple swilling pirate
the Legendary Fred Simard!
I knew I was in for a hell of a time
from the madness in his eyes
he said take yourself a pistol, son,
and put on this disguise
we're making to steal the cider in
all of Monteregie
and nothing but the most cunning of thieves
are welcome on this looting spree
chorus
I heard that Fred ran a public house
back in the old days
and it was the juice of the bastard apple
that lead that man astray
God damn that forbidden fruit
it gave him his wicked ways
I've had a taste, there's no escape
to cider I'm a slave...
some things went down that fateful day
some thing I'll never tell
I'll take them to my grave, boys, and straight
through the gates of hell but
we stole all the cider, there was
not a bottle left make no mistake, it was ours to take,
nothing but the best and I said fuck all to the rest!

Comme d'habitude, j'ai bien du mal à choisir une "favorite track" avec ce groupe de Trashgrass qui excelle dans son domaine.
Mais là, j'ai réussi à me décider finalement. XD EklektikTrip

The Taxpayers were able to put down a tacklist of songs that allow us to go on a journey. In this album we experience the manic highs and lows one may experience in a life long battle with deteriorating mental health. The picture at times grim and beautiful is one I continually come back to as its tragedy never fades. Ulysses Johnson
