She wore iron shoes
and she flew a kite
her eyes, they are violins
her eyes held the night
I am just a poor young boy
and I cannot compare
because here eyes they are accordions
and her lips they are so fair

I never picked a penny off the ground
no I never picked a penny off the ground
I always stay alert put my hands down in the dirt
but I never picked a penny of the ground
I never get a nickle in the mail
no I never get a nickle in the mail
the letters come and come my debt aint on the run
I never get a nickle in the mail
I never found a dime on your spine
no I never found a dime on your spine
I search all along your back, up the turn and down the crack
but I never found a dime on your spine
I never got a quarter from a bird
no I never got a quarter from a bird
they sing their little songs but I never sing along
I never got a quarter from a bird

The man in the radiator hisses in the night
the boys fight in the dark
Jesus is the light
The man in the radiator hisses in the night
the boys fight in the dark
Jesus is the light
I wasn't born yesterday
no, I wasn't born yesterday or today
The ambulance speeds down the road
the ambulance speeds down, down the road
The sounds we make swimming in the lake
the sounds we make swimming in, in the lake

Awake in bed by myself
awake in bed all by myself
'cause you're not there
no you're not there
awake in bed by myself
I find that I keep talking to you
I find that I keep talking to you
when you're not there
no you're not there
I find that I keep talking to you

Andy the footless goose was born with only stumps
till a man made him shoes and taught him how to walk
Andy the footless goose soon became a draw for travelers on highway 6
children loved to watch as he waddled in those sneakers
Andy the footless goose went missing one afternoon
he was kidnapped and later murdered
his body was found weeks later
his head and wings had been removed
but those shoes were still on
they offered a reward for information
but his murderer was never found
no his murderer was never found
Andy the footless goose
he was a hero to so many crippled children
and yet his murderer was never found
ol' Andy the footless goose
he's up there dancing in his little shoes up in goose heaven
Andy the footless goose
inspiration to so many

You and me living through a break down
You and me living through a break down
when life looks to hard to pick up your feet
when the world is too cold to get out from the sheet
my plan is to hold your hand until you say
you and I both together greet a brand new day
the dishes start to pile up unwashed in the sink
but the work is much easier than you think
wild onions they grow in the back yard
we can pick them and spice up the dinner we charred
the stresses of life pile up on our heads
but when they bring you down think of this instead
we have our lives, that's all that we need
when you joke we may laugh when you prick we may bleed

Bol Weevil was a man from New Orleans
fried his marijuana like collard greens
Bol Weevil put a penny on the railroad track
sat out in the woods till the train came back
Bow Weevil knows the king and the magistrate
he knows lazy Mary and bow legged Kate
