Jay Munly - Goose Walking Over My Grave
She said punch me in the stomach
I said girl
I do not know
If I punch you in the stomach
Then our child inside will not grow
She said if you truly love me
You'll do this thing for me
So I punched her in the stomach
And she fell down to both of her knees
Lay low lay low lay low low
There's a goose walking over my grave
Lay low lay low lay low low
There's a goose walking over my grave
And we went on down the mountain
We paid up for the
County fair
All the men they spied her flat gut
And the women sent birds up to air
Then we found ourselves a halfbreed
To tell us our fortune today
And he painted my hands
A deep dark red
Said now boy you know that you gotta pay
Well she spat she swore
And she ground all her teeth
Then she swelled up
All her veins
She said mister for claimin' all that you know
Don't you know my brother's birdbrained
Hey whoa back up girl didn't you hear the halfbreed
Sayin' somethin' 'bout well
I don't know
Yeah she pulled me away by my goosefleshed flesh
She's too late
I caught up to my slow
We went back up the mountain
We sat down upon our front porch
And come yonder carryin' a bucket
Was our child doin' his chores
So we drunk down a bucket of choke cherry wine
And she dunked her thumbs inside
With her thumbs dyed red she grabbed my head
And she gouged out both of my eyes
Lay low lay low lay low low
There's a goose walking over my grave
Lay low lay low lay low low
There's a goose walking over my grave
So I drug her down the mountain
Turned her over to the town youths
As she lay there squibblin' and squallin'
I said girl well now you're my goose
Then she crawled up to me
On her bloody red knees
And said why did you do this to me
I said sister let me tell you
What you do not know
I was blind but now
I can see
I was blind but now I see
