For Jimmie Rodgers
24 May 2017
I'd rather be in Missisippi, drinkin' whiskey from a jug
I'd rather be in Missisippi, drinkin' whiskey from a jug
Than to be in New York City, dyin' on an old fire plug
Yodeladee *HACK* *KOFF* *RETCH* odeeyodel *HOCK HOCK HOCK* odeleedo *GASP* *WHEEZE* *GURGLE* Tell 'em 'bout me!
I'm coughin' up bloody corruption, it's all over my shoes
I'm coughin' up corruption, got it on both of my shoes
I woish this ol' fire hydrant would wash away the putrid ooze!
Hey, sweet mama! *SPEW* *SPURT* *HACK*
