Got
an ole sweater (country song)
Got
an ole sweater for a pillow
my sheets are black with dirt
the fleas are crawling they have a ball in
some of my shredded shirts
In my jeans torn to the seams
every pocket has a hole
welfare pay wouldn't stay
leaving me shivering from the cold
The
crows are flying a shadow 's lying
round this sagging shack
The floor 's a-creaking the roof is a-leaking
Ma, won't you take me back
refr. But I don't care, I don't give damn
All
those mice all those lice
my room is just like a zoo
In the corner is still mourning
a pair of woman shoes
All
my lies made you wise
you said you felt like a widow
You took a lot but you forgot
to take with you your shadow
refr.
Give the booze to someone else
if it serves you take a shot
I'm not tempted I feel contented
with my own way to rot
I 'll pull open a can of beans
like all the other fucking days
Macrobiotics is for idiotics
just wait for the atomic rays
refr.
Sweet miss Lizzy she 's always busy
Mary Lou she 's got the flu
Karen 's horney but she 's an attorney
always got some work to do
Fay is gay Hope is into dope
and Rita is a catholic nun
Janice is in Venice Alice is a menace
she 's a nympho and you better run
refr.
