Song | Flinty Kind Of Woman |
Artist | Dar Williams |
Album | The Honesty Room |
作词 : Williams | |
It's a small town life and I like it | |
'Cause the bad don't get in your way | |
There's an angry God gonna strike it | |
Yeah, that's what we pay him for, that's why we pray | |
Well I guess the angry God he was a-fishing | |
When Molly called me up with the news | |
Within the space of a week | |
Yeah, a pervert or a sex freak | |
Let the kids take a peek | |
That's more than a little cheek | |
No pun intended | |
Ay-yi-yipee-yipee-yi-yi-ay | |
Going east of Mississippi got a flinty kind of woman | |
And you don't act smart and you don't touch my children | |
If the young man wants to see the sun go down | |
Well there was no time fooling with the trifles | |
So there was no use in telling the men | |
They would just go running for their rifles | |
And then once you got him couldn't get him again | |
So Peg got a bolt of fishing tackle | |
And Marge got her gardening clips | |
And Sally LaBiche put her hound on a leash | |
And the timer on the quiche, she's kind of nouveau riche | |
But we like her | |
Ay-yi-yipee-yipee-yi-yi-ay | |
Going east of Mississippi got a flinty kind of woman | |
And you don't act fresh and you don't touch my children | |
If the young man wants to see the sun go down | |
It was the kids who spotted him a running | |
As we drove through the harbor fog | |
And that's when we got our engines gunning | |
'Cause we knew he was headed for the cranberry bog | |
We got our hip-high rubber boots strapped on | |
And Molly got the big flashlights out | |
And by the "Welcome to New England" sign | |
Got him with the fishing line | |
In the dark smell of brine | |
Betty said "This one is mine." | |
She is ruthless | |
Ay-yi-yipee-yipee-yi-yi-ay | |
Going east of Mississippi got a flinty kind of woman | |
And you just say no and you don't touch my children | |
If the young man wants to see the sun go down | |
Well we didn't have to drag him and a-jail him | |
'Cause you don't have to take it so far | |
When your roots go back to Old Salem | |
And you've got a local chapter of the DAR | |
Now I don't go tooting on my lobsters | |
'Cause your pride doesn't go with your plaid | |
But it's a victory won and it couldn't be done | |
By the hippy-dippy flaky-shaky fun-in-the-sun | |
Braless wonders | |
Ay-yi-yipee-yipee-yi-yi-ay | |
Going east of Mississippi got a flinty kind of woman | |
And you know your place and you don't touch my children | |
If the young man wants to see the sun go down | |
If the young man wants to see the sun go down |
