The Donor Blues |
Found my fingers up north in the forest of the fir |
Yeah I blame them woods for all I’ve learned |
Well I watched my wits walk west where the money is earned |
Just to strut my stuff and wait my turn |
And I have often thought that these old bones |
Should just go on ahead and break if they gonna |
These old shoes should just go on and give out |
They’re running the jail for profit these days |
That’s what they say |
Lost my lungs long ago in the belly of the beast |
Yeah I got my gall from the boys back east |
Yeah I sing sweet songs with the throat that belongs to her |
Yeah she wears my heart and wears my words |
Got these lips from the girl next door |
The only problem is they only beg for more |
Sold my skin for some fancy clothes |
I thought I’d get a better deal but that’s the way it goes |
Put all the rest in a hollow tree |
Yeah fill it with cement and let me be |
