Rotten Peaches |
| We’ve moved on six miles from where we were yesterday |
| And yesterday is but a long long ways away |
| So we’ll camp out tonight beneath the bright starlight |
| And forget rotten peaches and the places we’ve stayed |
| I left from the dockland two years ago now |
| Made my way over on the S.S. Marie |
| And I’ve always had trouble wherever I’ve settled |
| Rotten peaches are all that I see |
| Rotten peaches rotting in the sun |
| Seems I’ve seen that devil fruit since the world begun |
| Mercy I’m a criminal, Jesus I’m the one |
| Rotten peaches rotting in the sun |
| There ain’t no green grass in a U.S. state prison |
| There is no one to hold when you’re sick for your wife |
| And each day out you’ll pick, you’ll pick rotten peaches |
| You’ll pick rotten peaches for the rest of your life |
| Oh I’ve had me my fill of cocaine and pills |
| For I lie in the light of the Lord |
| And my home is ten thousand, ten thousand miles away |
| And I guess I won’t see it no more |
