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
