Here are the lyrics to:
STRAIGHTEN OUT MY LAIG By Jimmy Driftwood
I was going down the mountain with a load of mountain dew I fell off the wagon and I broke my laig in two. They cut if off with a pocketknife and dug down through the snow They put my laig in crooked and that's why it hurts me so.
When they cut my broken laig off, oh, it almost took my breath They seared it with a red-hot iron or I'd have bled to death. They stuffed my laig in crooked in that grave beneath the snow It hurts me every time I try to wiggle my big toe.
If you'll go down in the holler, Gal, and straighten out my laig I'll hold you tight and dance all night on my old wooden paig. We will live a life of gladness like we did in days of yore For when you straighten out my laig it won't hurt anymore.
Chorus: Straighten out my laig, straighten out my laig Take me down in the holler, Molly And straighten out my laig. Straighten out my laig, straighten out my laig Take me down in the holler, Molly And straighten out my laig.
