Todd Snider - Digger Dave's Crazy Woman Blues lyrics
[Todd Snider - Digger Dave's Crazy Woman Blues lyrics]
Digger Dave was a friend of mine
Got himself into a bit of a mess one time
Mindin’ his business, drinkin’ his wine
When he heard a shotgun blast
It wasn’t anything he hadn’t heard before
But then that girl Christine came
Cryin’ through his door
Screamin’, "Yukon Jack told me to get
Rid of this thing fast!"
"Yukon Jack" and "Digger Dave" sounds
Like a couple of names
That I might’ve just made up
But, I’m tellin’ you
This is the truest story I tell
She set down the gun, took off runnin’
Digger Dave followed, and soon come up on
That death wish kid from Michigan
He’s layin’ there, shot up all to hell
He got a death wish since they
Come up from the lower forty-eight
And they’d all been drinkin’ vodka
For two days straight
When the fist fight started
It was already too late
For anyone to keep any peace
No one could remember what
The fight was about, but
By all accounts
The kid pulled the first gun out
In self-defense, beyond a shadow of a doubt
Is what they all agreed to tell the police
Digger Dave said, "No
Y’all are on your own with this"
Walked over to AJ’s and drank himself pissed
Cop yellow tape was strung out
All over the place
When he finally come walkin’ back out
A victim of circumstance if
Ever there was one last time I saw him
He said that he had just done
A year and a half for what he called
"Lettin’ that crazy bitch into his house"
Got a new song about it, though
Sang it for me behind the club
It said, "Crazy woman blues
I got the crazy woman blues
I got the crazy woman blues
I never shoulda let her into my house"
Said it’s like, "Crazy woman blues
I got the crazy woman blues
I got the crazy woman blues
I never shoulda let her into my house"
Only one way to know how
Far is just far enough
You gotta go a little bit too far
And then back up back up
And hope hard luck ain’t on your side
The town council had already planned to meet
About all the drinkin’ and druggin’
Down there on Brunelle Street
About a little bit too late, I guess
At least for that kid that died
Crazy woman blues, crazy woman blues
Crazy woman blues
I never shoulda let her into my house
I got the crazy woman blues
The crazy woman blues crazy woman blues
I never shoulda let her in the house
Got himself into a bit of a mess one time
Mindin’ his business, drinkin’ his wine
When he heard a shotgun blast
It wasn’t anything he hadn’t heard before
But then that girl Christine came
Cryin’ through his door
Screamin’, "Yukon Jack told me to get
Rid of this thing fast!"
"Yukon Jack" and "Digger Dave" sounds
