Tom Waits Dog Door (cover by Luis Medina)

My fourth cover from Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards. This was a very challenging song. I tried distilling it down to its basic beats. I include the lyrics. I think they are pretty close to Tom's recording. I hope you enjoy it. The footage of "Big Dog" is just plain freaky.Dog Doorby Tom WaitsShe's as mean as a needleDon't get too close to the heaterShe's a mean shop keeperShe's got an extra gunShe about 6'4"She's a wrecking ballNow go ahead and kiss herShe brought the bad weather with herShe got you comingThrough the dog doorShe got you comingThrough the dog doorNow pigs get fatHogs get slaughteredYou ought to walk awayYou can't but youOught toClimb the rickety stairsShe got the long black hairDon't sit there!Electricity chairShe got you comingThrough the dog doorShe got you comingThrough the dog doorPitch fork, crow barClaw hammer, hot tarShe's got ruin in her nameWell she can make it rainShe's a small town jailAnd you're starving inThe belly of a whaleShe got you comingThrough the dog doorShe got you comingThrough the dog doorPitch fork, crow barClaw hammer, hot tar
