[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] And three pretty things I'm in bed now cause Since father's just twenty just In condition of all of his heart And his hand is now mean to another [Verse 2] Ghost of the stars she hands down the width Jezebel enough she divided in bits If I were with Bob at the upper six In the head of the town come out [Chorus] Mama's in the factory she got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway looking for the pews I'm in the kitchen with the tombstone blues [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] He stuck a bright penny in her cage Screaming Simone's at a Jezebel age Since father doctor burst down the shade Said my best not to let the boys in [Verse 4] Wait a minute some man comes in he shuffles inside 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 [Chorus] Mama's in the factory she got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway looking for the pews I'm in the kitchen with the tombstone blues [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] I'm in the bed of rope To a place now rehearsed around the flagpole And the National Bank had a profit Says watchman to the soul Are you folks home at last? [Verse 6] Well I wish I could write you a melody so plain As the city lady for whom you sing I polish weeping and useless pain Look at the ceaseless and useless valley [Chorus] Mama's in the factory she got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway looking for the pews I'm in the kitchen with the tombstone blues [Outro] (Instrumental)
