Gourds January Lyrics

January Lyrics

Waiting for the lozenge to clear yer throat  

 So you can stand up and say all the words you wrote  

 All along the fences, all along the lines  

 Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'  

 Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry  

  

 Rain around the houses, rain around the limbs  

 Everything yer hating is everything you been  

 So pass around the roses, shiny up the bell  

 How dry I once was there ain't no tung can tell  

  

 Twist another ashbone, make it phat and loose  

 Apply the isopropyl and play that ol' gray goose  

 All along the fences, all along the lines  

 Yer gumption's fading and the honeysuckle's dyin'  

 Honeysuckle's dyin' and the birds all cry
