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"
