JOCKEY FULL OF BOURBON TOM WAITS
Em
Edna Millon in a drop dead suit
B7
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol, but the gun won't shoot
Em
I'm in the corner in the pouring rain
16 men on a deadman's chest
B7
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pairs of pants and a mohair vest
Em
I'm full of burbon, I can't stand up
Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire, your children are alone
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgans head
And I've been stepping on the devils tail
Across the stripes of a full moons head
Through the bars of a Cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Come admire the view from upon the top of the mast
Chorus
Yellow sheets in a Hong Kong bed
Stayzbo horn and a Singerland slide
To the carnival is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside
16 men on a deadman's chest
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
Two pair of pants and a mohair vest
I'm full of burbon, I can't stand up
