Jockey Full Of Bourbon |
Edna Million in a drop dead suit |
Dutch pink on a downtown train |
Two dollar pistol but the gun won’t shoot |
I’m in the corner in the pouring rain |
16 men on a deadman’s chest |
And I’ve been drinking from a broken cup |
2 pairs of pants and a mohair vest |
I’m full of bourbon; |
I can’t stand up. |
Hey little bird, fly away home |
Your house is on the fire; |
your children all alone |
Hey little bird, fly away home |
Your house is on the fire; |
your children all alone |
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan’s head |
And I’ve been stepping on the devil’s tail |
Across the stripes of a full moon’s head |
Through the bars of a Cuban jail |
Bloody fingers on a purple knife |
A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass |
I’m on the lawn with somebody else’s wife |
Come admire the view from up on top of the mast |
Hey little bird, fly away home |
Your house is on the fire; |
your children all alone |
Hey little bird, fly away home |
Your house is on the fire; |
your children all alone |
Yellow sheets in a Hong Kong bed |
Stazybo horn and a Slingerland ride |
To the carnival is what she said |
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside |
Edna Million in a drop dead suit |
Dutch pink on a downtown train |
Two dollar pistol but the gun won’t shoot |
I’m in the corner in the pouring rain |
Hey little bird, fly away home |
Your house is on the fire; |
your children all alone |
Hey little bird, fly away home |
Your house is on the fire; |
your children all alone |
