Jonesy Boy |
| Cats hissing in the dark |
| Turned-over garbage cans around the park |
| The dangling, brittle scab on your knee |
| Oh, you’re pretty cocksure, son |
| You’re like a Villonian singing nun |
| Pray you wash your hair out in a sink |
| Armed with a mandolin |
| A snotted rag and a Delphic hymn |
| Shaking off the dew before it sticks |
| Oh, give us a melody |
| Before they send us back to the sea |
| Replace these wooden legs for ones that kick |
| Oh, Jonesy Boy |
| I can’t remember before |
| There ever was war |
| My boyhood home is now a jail |
| They paved over the ol' creek |
| To make a road for lumbering teak |
| And shipped off my family by rail |
| Oh, I hope you stay a boy |
| At least to bring some old men joy |
| Even just to watch you tune your strings |
| They’re blowing the shofar now |
| Off to stick another sow |
| The soil is hungry again for offerings |
| Oh, Jonesy Boy |
