MARY JANE
(learned by James Kenneth Larson, St. John, Idaho (1910s))

She told me she'd meet me when the clock struck seventeen,
At the slaughterhouse just eight miles out of town,
Where the pig's eyes and the pig's ears and the tough old Texas steers
Sell for beefsteak at fifteen cents a pound.
She's crossed-eyed, pigeon-toed, and blind.
And they saw her teeth are foamy
From eating Swiss bologna.
She's my freckle-faced, consumptive Mary Jane!



This is from Songs and Ballads: Folk Material and Old Favorites(Manuscript, ca 1933) by James Kenneth Larson, McCammon, Idaho
