Old Gopher

Lyrics for Old Gopher

Did you hear about Kansas About an old Kansas boy Livin' on the river In an old black Molloy N' buying raw red gum N' making raw red wine Crazy as a stallion Choked on a lariat line Got a belly like a boiler Got a head like a whale N' when he moths yuh up for something Gonna be blowin' a gale There's blood on the table N' skins on the door N' there's last week's huntin' All over the floor But there's a dealer got in there Made Kansas go crazy An' he split him wide open Like a two-night daisy Threw the dealer out the window And the rest out of the door Now they're floodin' water Through his back door They've been aiming to settle him An' was him away Oughta know the old gopher's Been gone for days Blew over the prairie Right into the hills Now nobody gonna get him Less a mountain kills.
