Which song?

[LeahDear]

A little game I play with some friends...
Find out which song the lyrics come from and then give some more for the next person. The more obscure the better.

I can hear him rolling on down the lane
I said Hollywood be thy name

jesus gonna be here by tom waits


Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words
It came a-reeling up like Christmas bells, and rapping up like pipes and drums

bore me seven babies with snappin' black eyes
and beautiful ebony skin

From men to women to men
It's a nation of noses pressed up against the glass
They've seen it on the TV
And they want it pretty fast

When he did it with his hat on
Like in a saddle with his gun

And in the hard light of an angry sun
No one remembers what was said or done
Tender are the words they choose
You win I win we lose

Tell Butcher Knife Totin' Annie, tell Fast Talking Fanny
