Here's how I hear it, but there's definitely still a few questionable sections -- mostly the first line of each stanza -- but it's a start.

CHORUS (x2)
I can't stand, I can't stand, I can't stand, I can't staaaand -- to throw anything away
I can't stand, I can't stand, I can't stand, I can't staaaand -- to throw anything away

There's disturbance in the livestock up way up in the flood
Planned a tourist on the road in darkest Arkansas
She sells blank photographs, used husbands
I can't stand to throw anything away

CHORUS

Well, along mown a mule with a mouthful of yellowjackets
Waiting on Sally for to hand me down the screws
Sup alls the sugar from the third spittoon
I can't stand to throw anything away

CHORUS

Oh, suck eggs, so-and-so, bit by turtlehead
The married mad man of the old heave-ho
Say "Wherever I'm at, that's where I better be
And I'll never throw anything away"

CHORUS
