Mama Hoochie Bang

On the real estate, When the morning comes

Sore head can't see straight

Feeling bad on the whole

Can't see the rabbit for the grass snake

You know you had a lot of smoke

Asking who shot Billy

Now that Stagger Lee's gone.

You can do it like the scarecrow

But don't go blowing a fuse,

If there's no place like home,

Dot got the RUBY TWO SHOES

You'll have a hard time

Following yellow stones

You gone gonna be having a hard time,

So swallow your pride whole.

The money's in the minus,

There's a lover on my arm,

My shoes are sure shabby

But my soul aint getting old.

You can do it like the Tinman

But don't get hung up on the blues,

When there's no place like home,

Dot got the RUBY TWO SHOES
