The Gourds

Waiting for the lozenge to clear yer throat



So you can stand up and say all the words you wrote



All along the fences, all along the lines



Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'



Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry




Rain around the houses, rain around the limbs



Everything yer hating is everything you been



So pass around the roses, shiny up the bell



How dry I once was there ain't no tung can tell




Twist another ashbone, make it phat and loose



Apply the isopropyl and play that ol' gray goose



All along the fences, all along the lines



Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'



Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry
