Fred Eaglesmith - How's Ernie Lyrics
Well, I don't miss her anymore the way that I used toWas a time when my heart was brokeSomehow I got throughStill, her father became my best friendThat's one thing for sureFunny how I miss himA lot more than herHow's ErnieHey, that's what I would sayIf I wrote her a letterOr called her up one dayHow's Ernie You know it ended up real bad But I don't miss her anymoreThough I sure do miss her dadHe was kind of deaf in one earSo I'd kind of have to shoutWe'd talk guns and horses'Till the lights went outWhy, we'd sit up 'till midnight drinkin'Whiskey and waterAnd he'd pretend not to knowI was sleeping with his daughterHow's ErnieHey, that's what I would sayIf I wrote her a letterOr called her up one dayHow's ErnieYou know it ended up real badBut I don't miss her anymoreBut I sure do miss her dadBut I was young and foolishHow was I to knowHey, the price I paid for my mistakesWas to up and watch her goAnd I don't mind that she went and doneWhat I guess she had to doNo, I don't mind but I wonder whyShe had to take him tooHow's ErnieHey, that's what I would sayIf I wrote her a letter Or called her up one dayHow's ErnieYou know it ended up real badBut I don't miss her anymore But I sure do miss her dadNo, I don't miss her anymoreBut I sure do miss her dad
