Well I hung on to Mary's stump, I danced with a soldiers glee

With a rum-soaked crook, and a big fat laugh, I spent my last dollar on thee

With a chain link fence and a scrap-iron jaw

Spider rolled in from Hollister Burn on a one-eyed, stolen mare
Donned himself with the chicken fat, sawin' on a jawbone violin there
Kathleen was sitten down in little Red's recovery room, In her criminal underwear bra
I was naked to the waist with my fierce black hound, and I'm

Dig a big pit in a dirt alley road, fill it with madrone and bay
Smells like hell and the neighbours complain, don't give a hoot what they sayyyy
You gotta slap that hog..... 
Roll him over twice.....
Baste him with a sweeping broom
You gotta swat them flies, and chain up the dogs

Rattlesnake piccatta with grapes and figs, Old Brown Betty with a yellow wig
'Tain't the mince-meat filigreeee, and it ain't the turley-neck stew
And it ain't them bruleed ochra seeds, tho' she made them special for you
Worse won a prize for the bottom-black pie, the beans got thrown to the dawgs,
Je-he-sius Christ, I can always make room

Lyrics

Well I hung on to Mary's stump
I danced with a soldier's glee
With a rum soaked crook
And a big fat laugh
I spent my last dollar on thee
I saw Bill Bones, gave him a yell
Kehoe spiked the nog
With a chain link fence
And a scrap iron jaw
Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring hog
Spider rolled in from
Hollister Burn
With a one-eyed stolen Mare
Donned himself with chicken fat
Sawin on a jaw bone violin there
Kathleen was sittin down
In little reds recovery room
In her criminal underwear bra
I was naked to the waist
With my fierce black hound
And I'm cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog

Dig a big pit in a dirt alley road
Fill it with madrone and bay
Stinks like hell
And the neighbors complain
Don't give a hoot what they say
Slap that hog
Gotta roll em over twice
Baste him with a sweeping broom
You gotta swat them flies
And chain up the dogs

Rattle snake piccata with grapes and figs
Old brown Betty with a yellow wig
Tain't the mince meat filagree
And it ain't the turkey neck stew
And it ain't them bruleed
Okra seeds though she
Made them especially for you
Worse won a prize for her
Bottom black pie
The beans got to thrown to the dogs
Jaheseus Christ I can always
Make room when they're
