Marshall's lamb
Gotta pick all up your ham
Climb your own tree
You should be looking like me
ย
Diamond pill
Throw a monkey in your still
Work it out yourself
Are you a man, are you an elf?
ย
Klondike Slough
Run the boogeyman down
Walk up dead
Sure ain't looking like you
ย
Jehoshaphat was the son of a preacher
And one day when he was younger
He came to me and said
"P-Bone, how come it is you seem to
Get all the things you want in life
And I can't seem to get my hands on nothing I need?"
I said, "Well, for as long as you been to your daddy's house
I believe that's all it's ever gonna come to
And by the way, that's what we call a joker"
ย
"Well," he said, "Well, P-Bone, I wish
It is I could get lucky like you"
No shit, a man of his energy, chasing
Tadpoles and little girls and shit
Was sitting around wishing he could, for good things to happen to him
Well, I had to tell him anything he
Wanted in life, he had to go out and take
And then I sent him on his way
ย
Well, we laughed about the shit he said at the time
But it was not funny at all
And it reminded me of something my grandpappy told me
When I was a young boy his age
Not doing a goddamn thing but sitting around wishing
"Grandpappy, I wish you this, I wish you that"
Not doing nothing, just wishing
He looked at the young P-Bone, he said
"Boy, let me tell you what
You can wish in one hand, and shit in the other
And see which one fills up first"
ย
The wall of the hound
The light in your eye
The call to hell
The bone to cry
Hit the road
You know where to go
Luck ain't for sale
Can't buy it by the bale
ย
Won't you believe me when I say I don't hate you?
(When you believe me, when you believe me, when you believe me)
It holds the water, but that won't make you drink
(Baby, it won't help you, it won't help you, it won't help you)
Last night I told you, you was goddamn lucky to be out there
(When you believe me, when you believe me, when you believe me)
What makes you think I'm gonna change my mind?
(Baby, it won't help you, it won't help you, it won't help you)
