[00:21.40]He's got the hands of a blind piano player
[00:24.84]He's got a feel for the dark like a soothsayer

[01:39.59]Sittin' in a corner with his pet muskrat
[01:43.09]Tossin' his cards into an old man's hat
[01:46.61]He grins at the girls and they always grin back
[01:50.90]He bets an old waltz he could get 'em in the sack

[01:53.76]He makes his own music from the bell of a 'bone
[01:57.36]A waitress's falsie and a railroad phone

[02:43.25]His triple-jointed juke fingers splay like a scarecrow
[02:46.52]He kneels down and whistles to a fallen sparrow
[02:50.34]His eyes light up when they wheel in a piano
[02:53.86]He reads a dirty joke out of an old Baptist hymnal
[02:56.82]
[02:57.70]He wears a tuxedo made of sackcloth and ashes
[03:00.73]Has a tattoo of a girl who can bat her eyelashes
[03:04.46]Down on the river he was fishin' with a sword
[03:08.07]He knocked off John the Baptist for a word from the Lord
[03:10.04]
[03:11.90]He takes his coffee with the blood of a turnip
[03:14.99]Blushes his cheeks with an Amsterdam tulip
[03:18.90]Choppin' up a rooster for a pullet surprise
[03:22.10]If the gravy don't getcha he'll getcha with his eyes
[03:23.90]
