作曲 : Creager All that I have is this dull paring knife Peeling potatoes for the rest of my life Dirt floors make dust so I hope for the best I carry candies with pains in my chest Face tied together with three times used string Follow me see what I meanFixing a fencepost or feeding a cow Two penny salt lick I never ask how Animals like me though folks turn away I like the pigeons I like what they say Face tied together with three times used string Follow me see what I meanWe come alone and leave alone and we look the horse in the mouth We scratch the skin and break the bone and see birds migrating south By the side of the stump where she told us these things If you hear a bell ring you get some wings Don't bother looking for what I've neglected to bring By the side of the stump where she told us these things If you hear a bell ring you get some wings She's fallen farther than feathers that float in the wind I saw a wishing well down by the stream I never understood what wishes mean Just ask for nothing you get what you get I asked for something I've not got it yet Face tied together with three times used string Follow me see what I meanWe come alone and leave alone and we look the horse in the mouth We scratch the skin and break the bone and see birds migrating south By the side of the stump where she told us these things If you hear a bell ring you get some wings Don't bother looking for what I've neglected to bring By the side of the stump where she told us these things If you hear a bell ring you get some wings She's fallen farther than feathers that float in the wind
