Stick To Killin' Folks You Knows
61Stick To Killin' Folks You Knows
Lonnie say the sheriff
ain't got no reason be
lookin' at me ‘cause
I ain't got no record
and all ‘sides most folk
figures I ain't got ‘nough
smarts even come up with
such a plan as to steal somethin'
least not somethin' big like
the cash box from over there
at the Smokin' Pig Hip Grill
like all I ever thinks ‘bout
is them damn dirty dishes but
theys wrong cause I thinks
‘bout lots a stuff an' when
them deputies come ‘round
here sniffin' ‘round like they
was somebody's hound dog
lookin' for some bitch in heat
I acted jes like I knowed I was
s'posed to be actin' when
important folk comes ‘round
sayin' them words like yessir
nosir and smilin' real big like
an' Lonnie he say they gonna
poke ‘round here one maybe
two days an' then they be gone
somewhere else see some other
crime scene an' by then ol'
miss whadjadoo done be floated
over to the next county an'
maybe she be all the way
to the gulf ‘fore somebody
sees her bloated body
bobbin' out there in the
water like some kind of
big ol' whale or somthin'
maybe got some kind a
sea gull sittin' on top of her
like he done found himself
some kind a home or somethin'
only she prob'bly roll over
an' scare him a way with
that ugly face she gots or
he prob'ly take one look
at them eye brows
them ugly ol' mean ol'
eye brows of hers and
he be flyin' way quick
enough I reckon but
don't matter none to me
‘cause miss ibeewatchinyou
ain't comin' back here
that's all I know
Lonnie say we be a'right
after ever'thing calms down
we jes go down to the river
an' dig up that cash box
we gots from miss whadjadoo
‘fore long we be livin' high
on the hog over there in
Polk county where folks
don't know us an' they don't
care who we is an'
what we been doin'
‘cause they got they own lives
to worry over an' I don't know
maybe they even got they own
miss whadjadoo over there
some miss ibeewatchinyou
with them evil eyes but
ain't no matter to me ‘cause
I gots rid a mine
‘sides that Lonnie says there
be some folks over there
in Polk county who wants
help gettin' rid a some
trouble makers or somthin'
like that an' maybe they be
willing to pay good money
to folks like me an' him cause
we know how to be handlin'
them kinds a things but I
don't know if I want to be
doin' any more of that
not to some stranger that
ain't never done nothin'
makes you mad an' all
cause seems like you jes
got to stick to killin' folks
you knows thats all
