Window Hatchet Blues

Lord if I was the devil
I’d put a curse on you
Lord if I was the devil
I’d put a curse on you
Lord if I was an angel
Lord I’d curse you too
Well I’m gonna buy a Chevy
And a new black Ford
Yeah I’m gonna buy a Chevy
And a new black Ford
Yeah I’m gonna drop an engine
On my baby’s front door
Yeah well I invented Asia
Filled the Sea of Japan
Yeah well I invented Asia
Filled the Sea of Japan
Sold Egypt to the kaiser
Crowned the Shah of Iran — hey!
Well the rooster crows at midnight
Wolf howls at noon
Well the rooster crows at midnight
Wolf howls at noon
Smoke rising from the mountains
Earthquakes on the moon
She took a hatchet from the window
Cut her long yellow hair
She took a hatchet from the window
Cut her long yellow hair
Lord I miss my baby
She gone off somewhere
Well the straight man’s crazy
And the drunk man’s sane
Well the straight man’s crazy
And the drunk man’s sane
Dreaming in a bed of cotton
On a Saigon train — hey!
