January 6 Lyrics - 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 2X 

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 tongue can tell 

Ain't no tongue can tell and the rain it fell 2X 

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 2X
