lyrics

GOLD TEETH IN MIND
well my mule oh yes it's true he's got gold teeth they're shiny and new he's a fat mouth ol' pimp and i still trust that mule more than you•when i came to georgia i rode my mule, my clothes in a matchbox•i's a rattle snaking’ daddy rabid coyote looking for a fox•well i met me a woman who had earned my old mule’s trust•she's a gold toothed mamma that the rain just could never rust•i courted her in unwed sin•well she said that she'd been with uglier men•i said honey you don't even know where my ugly begins•was in the night she cried wake up men seek revenge at your do•i'ma murder them green horns honey sit back and enjoy the show•i cried oh willy them men aim well•i's too late she done made one bleed•next thing i saw's silver bullets knocking out pretty gold teeth•well she crawled into my arms where she writhed in a dance of death and pain•it's for that reason them men was tortured in her name•well it's on to dayton on to dayton tennessee•worst thing about it is the women there's too broke for gold teeth•trouble in mind oh yes i'm blue but i won't be blue always•gonna carry willy's gold teeth in my back pocket ‘til i reach my cold grave
