Eight Times Over Miss October Lyrics
3 ContributorsEight Times Over Miss October LyricsOnce again I'm denied my choice
Once around the stump, then twice across the ceiling
Now eight times over Miss October's out for me
Believe me when I tell you she's all about destruction
It's just about enough to make a grown man cry
Good God Almighty we was panning for gold
Down at the banks of mighty Colorado
When all of a sudden came an awful sound
Ten thousand buffalo were running us down
Once again I'm denied my joy
Sieves and peas, oh Lord, oh Lord
Thunder and lightning at a feverish pitch
Must be the workings of the Old West Witch
I crossed her once when I was just a youth
Been scared stiff ever since, to tell you the truth
Once again I'm denied my joy
Sieves and peas, oh Lord, oh Lord
She went once around the stump, then twice across the ceiling
Now eight times over Miss October's out for me
Believe me when I tell you she's all about the voodoo
And all the things I'm losing when I pay no mind
Get off on the good foot and start another day
Maybe head for Hazel, California
Oh, sooner or later she'll go to town
Sure as the Earth runs around and around
Again I'm denied my joy
Sieves and peas, oh Lord
At the side of the road
A bundle of twine
And on it I found a note
It read, "You'll be running till the end of time."
She went once around the stump, then twice across the ceiling
Now eight times over Miss October's out for me
Believe me when I tell you she's all about destruction
It's just about enough to make a grown man cry
Once around the stump, then twice across the ceiling
Now eight times over Miss October's out for me
Believe me when I tell you she's all about the voodoo
And all the things I'm losing when I pay no mind
The Soapmakers Lyrics
6 ContributorsThe Soapmakers LyricsBehind the Cliffside Inn
Heard a fiddle and a mandolin
Keeping rhythm on an old washboard
And stomping on the floor
Saw people of all sorts
Dancing 'round in twos and fours
Caroling about days of old
And what the future holds
In the middle was a big cauldron
That they were stirring, stirring
And there were trees around
That they kept burning, burning
I asked a toothless man
Who all these people were
And he said, "The soapmakers
And we are working, working."
As they stirred Heaven and Earth, they combined to one
And everything was everyone and each one was all
As they stirred I heard a trumpet call
And everything was everyone and each one was all
As they stirred Heaven and Earth, they combined to one
And everything was everyone and each one was all
As they stirred I heard a trumpet call
And everything was everyone and each one was all
Wishbone Lyrics
4 ContributorsWishbone LyricsFor Thanksgiving we had 'tatas
Succotash and rutabagas
Then came turkey from the oven
Broke the wishbone
Covenants were sealed and set
On the losing end of a wishbone
And I won't pretend not to mind
Christmas Eve we ate at Aunty's
We had some ham glazed with honey
Rolled the yule log on the fire
Threw the hambone to the dogs and went to bed
On the losing end of a wishbone
And I won't pretend not to mind
On the losing end of a wishbone
And I won't pretend not to mind
In the morning the weathercock was heard
Asking what we had learned of the Earth
"Is it a round place with deserts and oceans
Housing as many winds as one might wish?"
We were standing by the gate
He said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
Then he took off flying to the south
With a black snake in his mouth
You can shake it, break it or glue it whole
No two ways about it with a broke wishbone
On the losing end
Shake it, break it or glue it whole
No two ways about it with a broke wishbone
On the losing end
For St. Patrick's we had cabbage
Corned beef stew, egg salad sandwich
Then came whiskey from the basement
Danced all night into the dawn
Then held our heads
On the losing end of a wishbone
And I won't pretend not to mind
On the losing end of a wishbone
And I won't pretend not to mind
Losing end of a wishbone
And I won't pretend not to mind
