I just get up and it's time to lay down. Life... The tin roof leaks and the chimney leans. There's a hole in the seat of my new blue jeans. I ate up the last of the pork and beans. Just can depend on nothin'. There's an old mouse gnawin' at the cupboard door. He's been gnawin' now for a month or more. When he gets in, he's gonna be sore. There ain't a durn thing in it. From Doc and Merle on Stage at Cornell, Vanguard Records, 1964. Lots of other verses I'm sure. |

Best approach is to search for words that aren't apt to |
