Low Estate– 16 Horsepower

“To hell with boys creepin’ up slowly
Swingin’ them shovels ‘round
Diggin’ up words of pleasure
From evil hollow ground

Oh, an’ here’s one now girl
The devil is in his eye
You’d better start stirring up soil boy,
Or hear ever you’ll lie.

See I whispered to you in the dark
And I think you heard me say
‘Let’s say goodbye like we said hello,
In a friendly kind of way’

Charlie’s keen an’ Charlie’s neat,
But David, he’s a dandy
David he’s a nice young man
He feeds the girls on candy

Does he love you? No–
He love you not.
Does he want you? Yeah,
It’s you that’s got. 

See he whispers to me in the dark,
And all that sordid gain
Well, let’s say goodbye like we said hello
In a angry kinda way

Yes and what I done, that’s my damage
An’ what you do is your’n
Y’all got nothin’ on me
But I’ll take that there crown of thorns.”
