Iggy Pop The Ballad Of Cookie McBride

Tekst piosenki

[Verse]
Well gather around people
And listen to this
I am a hermit of burial ridge
Once I was shaven and worked every day
But the call of the wild just lured me away

[Chorus]
Singing hi hi ho it’s a water a day
On my way to an unmarked grave
Hi hi ho it’s a water a day
On my way to an unmarked grave

[Verse 2]
There’s pals at my table and mud on the floor
There’s bears in the area and wolves at the door
Their singing a song about Cookie McBride
Who goes out a-trapping and then tails their hide

[Chorus]
Hi hi hey it’s a water a day
On my way to an unhappy grave
Hi hi hey it’s a water a day
On my way to a rain filled grave

[Verse 3]
So if you’re planning a natural trip
Don’t call up snooping on burial ridge
The searchers will come and discover your hide
High, wet and hanging like Cookie McBride

[Chorus]
Hi hi hey it’s a water a day
On your way to an unhappy grave
Hi hi hey it’s a water a day
Who will remember the money you saved?

[Outro]
I’m in over your head
You’re in over your head
