Subject: RE: Homer and Jethro
Heard back from my son, and this is pretty close to right:
WANTED
Wanted - the girl I trusted - who took my money and stole my car. Wanted - the girl I trusted - who left me stranded - and mad as farr.
I can laugh now 'cause it didn't hurt a bit - the car was stolen and the money's counterfeit. She’s wanted by all the po-lice - they'll never catch her un-a-werr Because she'll lead them into the roundhouse - and they'll never corner her there.
[Mandolin interlude]
She was last seen in Hernando's hideaway - she was wearin' one of Benny’s old toupees. A jury will find her guilty, and as I see it, there ain't no hope. When she was born her dear old mother - should been arrested for smug-a-lin' dope.
(Incidentally, several words are spelled here like they were pronounced on the recording.)
