The Lyrics
I’ve got a swollen shoe—
my toe was tined
by a rattler, and so I’m blue.
Down I’m lyin’. . .
feel like I’m dyin’.
You know, that snake fanged it
and really chomped down. . .
worse than when I banged it
with a hammer, with which I did pound.
Then it was swollen, too.
Man, did I whine
and whine.
Damn snake chewed
through my shoe
not for food
but to hew. . .
I went “Ow!”
Life just ain’t fair:
the venom’s in me
I feel weak now,
and weary.
Yeah, life’s no bowl o’ fruit,
the cherry kind.
my toe was tined
by a rattler, and so I’m blue.
Down I’m lyin’. . .
feel like I’m dyin’.
You know, that snake fanged it
and really chomped down. . .
worse than when I banged it
with a hammer, with which I did pound.
Then it was swollen, too.
Man, did I whine
and whine.
Damn snake chewed
through my shoe
not for food
but to hew. . .
I went “Ow!”
Life just ain’t fair:
the venom’s in me
I feel weak now,
and weary.
Yeah, life’s no bowl o’ fruit,
the cherry kind.
