Townes Van Zandt - Two Girls Lyrics
By townes van zandtWell, the clouds didnt look like cottonThey didnt even look like cloudsI was underneath the weatherMy friends looked a crowdThe swimmin hole was full of rumI tried to find out whyAll I learned was this my friendYou got to swim before you flyI got two girlsOnes in heaven and ones belowOh, one I love with all my heartAnd one I do not know.Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horsePassed by not long agoThey asked me where the action wasI said I did not knowAs they disappeared into the brushI heard the driver sayHes a little slow between the earsHes always been that way.Jolly jane just lays aroundAnd listens with her mouthShes had about a dozen husbandsBut the last one pulled outNow, whos gonna bring her dinnerThrough the weary years aheadAll shell get from me is sympathyGot no time to see shes fed.Its cold down on the bayouThey say its in your mindBut the moccasins are treadin iceAnd leavin strange designsCajuns say the last timeThat this happend they werent hereAll beaumonts full of penguinsAnd Im a-playin it by ear.
