Guy Clark - Queenie's Song lyrics
[Guy Clark - Queenie's Song lyrics]
I found her under a tree
If I hadn't loved that dog so much
It wouldn't mean nothing to me
You son-of-a-bitch, I'm gonna tell you what
I will not be deterred
I'll find you out and track you down
On that you got my word
Queenie's getting buried
It's time to dig the hole
New Year's Day in Santa Fe
Broke mean and it broke cold
I don't predict the world will end
And I don't presume it won't
And I don't pretend to give a damn
If it do or if it don't
I bet you got a gun for Christmas
That don't make it right
What in the hell were you thinking
With little Queenie in your sights?
Queenie's getting buried
It's time to dig a hole
New Year's Day in Santa Fe
Broke mean and it broke cold
Now Brother Death and Father Time
Are almost loaded up
And they're headed for the borderline
In a stolen pick-up truck
For old acquaintance not forgot
For old dogs left behind
I won't forgive and I can't forget
The year of '99 screaming "Auld Lang Syne"
Queenie's getting buried
It's time to dig the hole
New Year's Day in Santa Fe
Broke mean and it broke cold
