LYRIC SHEET (casually, dreamy-eyed)
Oh, yeah--
I once knew a lass, liked to smoke grass
That perky face and those thighs
I would memorize
And this girl, made my head whirl
That's all there was
Oh, yeah--
She was kinda nuts, but there were no "but"s
I had to have her
It was kinda nice, chilled me like ice
Wakin' up next to her Light in the windowsill, yeah . . .
She was the one, wore her hair in a bun
And worked in the garden, she had a pail, oh yeah . . .
She went shopping for clothes, they were all old
Down at Goodwill
Didn't know that I sang, Didn't know that it rang
Outta key, too -- oh yeah Love it I love it, all--
Just got a pencil, on a paper, and you just
write it, write it on down, Round, round round and round . . .
Didn't like tv, just you and me, baby
She was from the country
She knew a little french, got my monkeywrench
And made some magic Can't find magic
It's all over now Don't even know how, but my baby's
gone. She's gone, she's gone, and that's all right, it's all right because I'm
Sittin' around, I'm not up I'm not down -- Just
gettin' by, gettin' high, driving around and around in the sky yeah
Some say it's crazy, others lazy, but I
know. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know -- you just gotta
Do it all up there again someday, You might get lucky, today I know
She's comin' back
Gunny sack, gunny sack, gunny gunny sack-- And she's
She was the one
Wore her hair in the bun, and I ain't tellin' no more
No, no no no--
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Of the 93.08.26 recording, there's two versions of the intro -- a long,
unedited one and a shorter one without all of the "let's see here -- what
kinda chords we got here" dialogue. The chord pattern is the same for
this intro.
A 1987 Fender Stratocaser (stock pickups, rosewood neck, jumbo frets, Kahler
tremolo, cream colored) was also used, plugged directly into the board (a
Yamaha MT-120 4-track recorder).
