Sadness |
| Sadness come to my house |
| With a stinking bouquet |
| Smiled with her thin gray lips |
| And said, «Honey, I’m home to stay.» |
| And I said |
| «Go away and leave me alone |
| Go away and leave me.» |
| She handed me rotgut whiskey |
| And a lit cigarette |
| Danced all around my room and said |
| «Are we having fun yet?» |
| She took off her party dress |
| And her tear stained brassiere |
| Came so close I could smell her |
| And said «Kiss me here and here.» |
| She lay down on my bed |
| And open her thin legs |
| Raised up her arms and said |
| «Honey, I ain’t too proud to beg.» |
| She said, «Don't you remember |
| What you did to that one, to the other one, too? |
| Well, I’ve just come to do exactly |
| The very same thing to you.» |
| I said, «I'm gonna get out my shotgun |
| I’m gonna get out my Bowie knife — |
| And if you don’t clear on outta here |
| I’ll kill you within an inch of your life.» |
| She said, «Honey, I’ve come to love you |
| I’m gonna hook you 'til you burn — |
| And then I’ll go and you will never know |
| Just when I may return.» |
| I will go out in the mountains |
| Way out in the desert somewhere |
| Where the sun shines down on rocks and bushes |
| And there ain’t no Sadness there |
