The clouds didn't look like cotton
|
They didn't even look like clouds
|
I was underneath the weather
|
All my friends look like a crowd
|
The swimmin' hole was full of rum
|
And I tried to find out why
|
All I learned was this, my friend
|
You got to swim before you fly
|
I got two girls
|
One's in heaven, one's below
|
One I love with all my heart
|
And one I do not know
|
|
Two lonesome dudes on a ugly horse
|
Passed by not long ago
|
They asked me where the action was
|
I said that I did not know
|
As they disappeared into the brush
|
I heard the driver say
|
He's a little slow between the ears
|
He's always been that way
|
I got two girls
|
One's in heaven, one's below
|
One I love with all my heart
|
And one I do not know
|
|
Jolly Jane just lays around
|
And listens with her mouth
|
She's had about a dozen husbands
|
But the last one just pulled out
|
Now who's gonna bring her dinner
|
Through the weary years ahead
|
All she'll get from me is sympathy
|
Ain't got time to see she's fed
|
I got two girls
|
One's in heaven, one's below
|
One I love with all my heart
|
And one I do not know
|
|
Cold down on the bayou
|
They say it's in your mind
|
But the moccasins are treadin' lee
|
And leavin' strange designs
|
The Cajun say the last time
|
This happened they weren't here
|
Beaumont's full of penguins
|
And I'm playin' it by ear
|
I got two girls
|
One's in heaven, one's below
|
One I love with all my heart
|
And one I do not know
|
