What Poison?
What poison this way comes?
Through the mist and sun?
Wears a mask?
Asks to dance?
What villain this way comes?
To try to get me all undone?
What devil? What lurch?
What evil this way comes?
Wearing a mask?
Creeping up behind my back?
Dark wave, tempest cloud
Hidden shroud, evil now;
What nightmare this way comes?
What poison? What curse?
What pain and suffering?
Pain and suffering,
Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering
Pain and suffering
Well I’m sittin’ here wonderin’, would a matchbox hold my clothes?
“Matchbox” is a song written and recorded by Carl Perkins and released in 1957. I learned it from my buddy Red from The HeatSeekers. Check out this solo rendition on my little rattlebox!

I ain’t got no matches but I sure got a long way to go!
Bob Dylan covers can be tricky, even the songs that seem so simple are somehow packed with a lot of emotional punch. I never come close. My favorite Bob Dylan songs are the early acoustic ones, off his first couple records. This one takes me back down memory lane.
