The sweet pretty things they're in bed now of course The city fathers they're trying to endorse But the town has no need to be nervous The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits Mama's in the fact'ry She ain't got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway Lookin' for the fuse I'm in the kitchen with the Tombstone blues The hysterical bride in the penny arcade Mama's in the fact'ry She ain't got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway Lookin' for the fuse I'm in the kitchen with the Tombstone blues Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief Mama's in the fact'ry She ain't got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway Lookin' for the fuse I'm in the kitchen with the Tombstone blues The king of the Philistines his soldiers to save Mama's in the fact'ry She ain't got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway Lookin' for the fuse I'm in the kitchen with the Tombstone blues The geometry of innocent flesh on the bone Mama's in the fact'ry She ain't got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway Lookin' for the fuse I'm in the kitchen with the Tombstone blues Where Ma Raney and Beethoven once unwrapped their bed roll Mama's in the fact'ry She ain't got no shoes Daddy's in the hallway Lookin' for the fuse I'm in the kitchen with the Tombstone blues
