1
We put up our tent on a dark
2
Green knoll, outside of town by
3
The train tracks and a seagull dump
4
Topping the bill was Horse Face Ethel
5
And her 'Marvellous Pigs In Satin'
6
We pounded our stakes in the ground
7
All powder brown
8
And the branches spread like scary
9
Fingers reaching
10
We were in a pasture outside Kankakee
11
And One Eyed Myra, the queen of
12
The galley who trained the
13
Ostrich and the camels
14
She looked at me squinty with her
15
One good eye in a Roy Orbison
16
T-shirt as she bottle fed
17
An orangutan named Tripod
18
And then there was
19
Yodeling Elaine the
20
Queen of the air who wore a
21
Dollar sign medallion and she
22
Had a tiny bubble of spittle
23
Around her nostril and a
24
Little rusty tear, for she had
25
Lassoed and lost another
26
Tipsy sailor
27
And over in
28
The burnt yellow tent
29
By the frozen tractor, the
30
Music was like electric sugar
31
And Zuzu Bolin played
32
'Stavin' Chain' and Mighty
33
Tiny on the saw and he
34
Threw his head back with a
35
Mouth full of gold teeth
36
And they played 'Lopsided heart'
37
And 'Moon over Dog Street'
38
And by the time they played "Moanin Low"
39
I was soakin' wet and wild eyed
40
And Doctor Bliss slipped me a
41
Preparation and I fell asleep with
42
'Livery Stable Blues' in my ear
43
And me and Molley Hoey drank
44
Pruno and Koolaid and she had a
45
Tattoo gun made out of a cassette
46
Motor and a guitar string and
47
She soaked a hanky in 3 Roses
48
And rubbed it on the spot
49
And drew a rickety heart and
50
A bent arrow and it hurt like hell
51
And Funeral Wells spun
52
Poodle Murphy on the target
53
As he threw his hardware,
54
Only once in Sheboygan did he miss
55
At a matinee on Diamond Pier and
56
She'd never let him forget it
57
They were doing two shows and she
58
Had a high fever and he took
59
Off a piece of her ear and
60
Tip Little told her she should
61
Leave the bum
62
But Poodle said, "He fetched me
63
Last time I run."
64
But I'd like to hammer this ring into a bullet
65
And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun
66
My dear
67
And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun
68
My dear
