Hank's Little Fingers

Taken from "Devil Between My Toes" 1987

"{chorus}
We're watchin Hank
We're watchin Hank's little fingers
We're watchin Hank
We're watchin Hank's little fingers

Touching like new skin
pulling in the fibers within
hammerbox and strum
Beating on the Indian Drum

Unless you got the answers
Don't patronize the mountain man, uh-oh-oh
Unless you got the answers
Don't patronize the mountain man, uh-oh-oh

{chorus}

swimming river flow
rifle, bullet, arrow, and bow,
poster, paint, and tile
lepos, chivine, car and reptile

unless you've got the answers
don't patronize the mountain men."

A tribute to Hank Marvin perhaps? A great song with a fine melody. Niave in some respects but shows how Bob Pollard was a great song writer way back in the day. Someone he can make a list of random words and objects a fist punching rally cry.
