In a village of rotting wood and crumbling clay
Senor Gallegos’ son will be hung today
He drove his wagon drunk through the town
He killed a little girl when he ran her down

A peddler passing through heard the news
He sold the hangman new rope for a noose
He had time to kill so he hung around
To pick the carcass clean from this town

The peddler took advantage of other’s pain
Desperation provides financial gain
The peddler planned to con Senor Gallegos
Sold a bag of magic dust for 100 pesos

For what this magic does
I’m not asking much
It turns hate into love
This bag of magic dust

By noon the restless crowd filled the town
Senor Gallegos spread the dust around
But the dust was only dust and he was a joke
Till the hangman pulled the lever and the new rope broke

Then the parents of the girl shocked everyone
They forgave and pardoned Senor Gallegos’ son
The peddler didn't know what to say
He even gave the 100 pesos away

Maybe the magic’s love
Underneath the dust
Maybe the magic’s love
Underneath the dust
Underneath the dust
Underneath the dust]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y13w6-dust/#post-45677
