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 e’are you’ll lye
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
Ye charlie’s neat an’ charlie’s keen but
David he’s a dandy
David he’s a nice young man
He feeds the girls on candy
Whispered to you in the dark
And all that sordid gain
Let’s say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kinda way
Now what I done’s my damage
An’ what you do is your’n
Y’all got nothin’ on me
But I’ll take that there
Crown of scorn
