| 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 |
