Murder, Tonight, In the Trailer Park Lyrics


Murder tonight in the trailer park
Mrs. Annabelle Evans found
With her throat cut after dark
Her pockets turned inside out
Her dresser drawers turned upside down
Anna's neighbor Peg, identifies the body
Lets out a hollow kind of soundHomicide is tying yellow ribbons
Around her silver AirStream
Red cherries slashing up the night
Cutting through that cordoned crime sceneThere's been a murder
In the trailer park tonightMurder tonight in the trailer park
Pack your things, Ann Marie
We're heading west
We're going to make a fresh start
I've been saving pennies
Been looking forward to this day
No time for questions are you coming
Or are you going to stay?Crosstown at the Waterton

George Evans is sitting tall and tight
Buying drinks for all the regulars
Bragging about how them bones
Danced for him tonightThere's been a murder
In the trailer park tonightMurder tonight in the trailer park
Faceless man counting crumpled bills
Hotel neon fights the dark
TV set in the corner, they're talking murder
On the late-night news
He turns down the sound
Waits for the sports
He only wants to know
Did I win or did I lose?There's been a murder
In the trailer park tonight
Murder in the trailer park
There's been a murder
In the trailer park tonight, yeah yeahThere's been a murder
In the trailer park
Murder yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
There's been a murder
In the trailer park tonight, tonight

The Cowboy Junkies is a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.)

The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.

None of the band's subsequent albums have been hits outside of Canada, although the band has maintained a dedicated following and have continued to have chart hits in their native country. Following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home, Cowboy Junkies were dropped from their major label contract. They have continued to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Records.
