Lyrics for My Human Gets Me Blues

I saw yuh baby dancin' in your x-ray gingham dress I knew you were under duress I knew you were under yer dress Just keep comin' Jesus Your the best dressed You look dandy in the sky but you don't scare me Cause I got you here in my eye In this lifetime you got m'humangetsmeblues With yer jaw hangin' slack n' yer hair's curlin' Like an ole navy fork stickin' in the sunset The way you were dancin' I knew you'd never come back You were strainin' t' keep yer Old black cracked patent shoes In this lifetime you got m'humangetsmeblues Well the way you'd been ole lady I could see the fear in yer windows Under yer furry crawlin' brow Uh silver bow rings up in inches You were afraid you'd be the devils red wife But it's alright God dug yer dance 'N would have you young 'n in his harum Dress you the way he wants cause he never had uh doll Cause everybody made him uh boy 'N God didn't think t' ask his preference You can bring yer dress 'n yer favorite dog 'N yer husbands cane 'N yer old spotted dog Cause in this lifetime You've got m'humangetsmeblues
