Thread Name: Lyr Req: 5 Pounds of Possum (and other roadkill)
Subject: RE: road kill
Here's as much of "5# of possum" as I can understand. The song is done by a group "Troublesome Hollow" Don't know anything about them or who wrote the song.

My children are hungry and my dog needs a bone.
I ain't got a job now so I'm just driving home.
An hour after sundown & much to my delight
There's five pounds of possum
in my headlights tonight.

Well there's five pounds of possum
in my headlights tonight.
If I can run him over
everything will be allright.
We'll have some possum gravey
Oh what a wonderful sight
There's five pounds of possum
in my headlights tonight.

There's another verse, but I cannot understand much of it.
