Jockey Full of Burbon Chords & Lyrics by Tom Waits
Jockey Full of Burbon
guitar chords lyrics
Em
Edna Million in a drop dead suit
B7
Dutch pink on a downtown train
Two dollar pistol but the gun won't shoot
Em
I'm in the corner in the pouring rain
16 men on a deadman's chest
B7
And I've been drinking from a broken cup
2 pairs of pants and a mohair vest
Em
I'm full of bourbon; I can't stand up.
[Chorus:]
Am Em
Hey little bird, fly away home
B7 Em
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Hey little bird, fly away home
Your house is on fire; your children are alone
Schiffer broke a bottle on Morgan's head
And I've been stepping on the devil's tail
Across the stripes of full moon's head
Through the bars of a Cuban jail
Bloody fingers on a purple knife
A flamingo drinking from a cocktail glass
I'm on the lawn with someone else's wife
Come admire the view from up on top of the mast
[Chorus]
Yellow sheets in Hong Kong bed
Stazybo horn and a Singerland ride
To the carnival is what she said
A hundred dollars makes it dark inside.
