Tom Waits – Jockey Full Of Bourbon Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Rain Dogs

Edna Million in a drop dead suit
Dutch pink pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won^,t shoot
I^,m in the corner in the pouring rain
16 men on a deadman^,s chest
And I^,ve been drinking from a broken cup
2 pairs of pants and a mother vest
I^,m full of bourbon; I can^,t stand up.

Chorus:
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan^,s head
And I^,ve been stepping on the devil^,s tail
[ Jockey Full Of Bourbon lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/t/tom-waits/jockey-full-of-bourbon/ ]
Across the stripes of full moon^,s head
Through the bars of a Cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I^,m on the lawn with someone else^,s wife
Come admire the view from up on top of the mast

Chorus

Yellow sheets in Hong Kong bed
Stazybo horn and a Singerland ride
To the carnival is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside.
Repeat First Verse and Chorus
