The Handsome Family is an alternative country and americana band, formed in Chicago, Illinois, and currently based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The band was formed in 1993 by husband-and-wife duo Brett Sparks (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Rennie Sparks (bass, banjo, vocals), along with drummer Mike Werner.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
AmCGAm My name I don't remember though I hail from Ohio AmCFC I had a wife and children good tires on my car FCAm What took me from my home and put me in the earth FEAm Was the mouth of the deep dark hole I found behind my barn
AmCGAm We'd been filling it with garbage as long as you could count AmCFC Kitchen scraps and dead cows tractors broken down FCAm But never did I hear one thing hit the ground FEAm And slowly I came to fear that this was a bottomless hole
AmCGAm I went out behind the barn and stared down in that hole AmCFC Late into the evening my mind would not let go FCAm So I got out my ropes and a rusty claw foot tub FEAm And I rigged myself a chariot to ride down in that hole
AmCGAm My wife she did help me she fed me down the ropes AmCFC And then I sank away from the surface of this world FCAm When the last rope pulled tight I had not reached the end FEAm And in anger I swung there down in that dark abyss
AmCGAm So I got out my knife I told my wife goodbye AmCFC I cut loose from the ropes and fell on down that hole FCAm And still I am there falling down in this evil pit FEAm But until I hit the bottom I won't believe it's bottomless
