Tombstone Blues - Take 9

The sweet pretty things are in bed now, of course
 The city fathers, they are trying to endorse
 The reincarnation of Paul Revere's horse
 But the town has no need to be nervous
 ♪
 The ghost of Belle Starr, she hands down her wits
 To Jezebel the nun, she violently knits
 A bald wig for Jack the Ripper, who sits
 At the head of the Chamber of Commerce
 Mama's in the factory, she ain't got no shoes
 Daddy's in the alley, he's lookin' for food
 I'm in the kitchen with the tombstone blues
 ♪
 The hysterical bride in the penny arcade
 Screaming, she moans, "I've just been made"
 Sends out for the doctor, who pulls down the shade
 And says, "My advice is to not let the boys in"
 ♪
 And the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside
 He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride
 "Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
 You will not die, it's not poison"
 Mama's in the factory, she ain't got no shoes
 Daddy's in the alley, he's lookin' for food
 I'm in the kitchen with the tombstone blues
 ♪
 Now, John the blacksmitht, he torturing a thief
 Says to the hero, the Commander-in-chief
 "Tell me, great hero, but please make it brief
 Is there a hole for me to get sick in?"
 ♪
 The Commander-in-chief answers him while chasing a fly
 Saying, "Death to all those who have whimper and cry"
 And, dropping a barbell, he points to the sky
 Saying, "The sun's not yellow, it's chicken"
 Mama's in the factory, she ain't got no shoes
 Daddy's in the alley, he's lookin' for the food
 I'm in the kitchen with the tombstone blues
 ♪
 Alright
 Let's hear that back
 He got to put the wall up over him
