| I caught a string full of fish down by the dam |
| I’ll drag 'em back to the field they should be dead by then |
| Wipe the sweat off my neck and tally ho the plow |
| I’m gonna grow a woman from the ground |
| The night was a chalkboard with a fingernail moon |
| If the fish ain’t dead yet they will be pretty soon |
| It’s kinda like the feeling at an old folks home |
| Even though you love them you can’t wait for them to go |
| I’ll call her Angelina, she’s a teacher I once had |
| A halo of honey wrapped around her head |
| And she always used to give me some when I was a kid |
| I told her that I loved her and then I went and hid |
| I’ll take you into town and I will show you off |
| There’s room on your dress for a corsage |
| And I’ll open every door for you |
| I opened up my almanac and in my mind I read |
| Cut your wrist on the fins of the fish and drain all you can |
| So I rolled up my sleeves and then began to draw lines just as deep as the days |
| are long |
| I sewed up my wrists and sowed the ground with my blood |
| Stained up my clothes pretty good and I turned that dirt to mud |
| I could not help but close my eyes and lay my body down |
| 'Cause I heard it takes forever to grow a woman from the ground |
| I bleed for you now and I’m skinny as a rail |
| I’ll be so obliged to keep you nice and warm and safe |
| Oh and won’t you be so proud of me |
