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 Marvelous Pigs in satin
6
We pounded our steaks in the ground
7
All powder brown
8
And the branches spread like scary
9
Fingers reaching – we
10
Were in a pasture in 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
18
Tripod 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 and over in
27
The burnt yellow tent
28
By the frozen tractor, the
29
Music was like electric sugar
30
And Zuzu Bolin played
31
"Stavin' Chain" and Mighty
32
Tiny on the saw and he
33
Threw his head back with a
34
Mouth full of gold teeth
35
And they played lopsided heart
36
And moon over Dog Street and
37
By the time they played Moanin Low
38
I was soakin wet and wild eyed
39
And Doctor Bliss slipped me a
40
Preparation and I fell asleep with
41
Livery Stable Blues in my ear
42
And me and Molly Hoey drank
43
Pruno and Koolaid she had a
44
Tattoo gun made out of a cassette
45
Motor and a guitar string and
46
she soaked a hanky in 3 roses
47
and rubbed it on the spot
48
and she drew a rickety heart and
49
a bent arrow and it hurt like hell
50
and Funeral Wells spun
51
Poodle Murphy on the target
52
As he threw his hardware, only
53
Once in Sheboygan did he miss
54
At a matinee on Diamond Pier and
55
She'd never let him forget it
56
They were doing two shows and she
57
Had a high fever and he took
58
Off a piece of her ear and
59
Tip Little told her she should
60
Leave the bum but
61
Poodle said, "he fetched me
62
Last time I run" and I'd
63
Like to hammer this ring into
64
A bullet and I wish I
65
Had some whiskey and a gun
66
My dear, I wish I had some
67
Whiskey and a gun my dear
