I woke up this morningWith a worried mindMy eyes were jerkin' roundIn my headThe sky was bleedingThe sun was blackThe lilies of the valley were obsceneTwelve screaming birdsFrom a foreign landHave come to memorize meMy head crackedThe birds flew inMy sins have come home to roostJumbalaya, crawfish pie, filet gumboJody ran off with Yvonne, my ma cher aimee-ohTake a tall drink from a jar, act so gay-oThe war is overJohnny's BackBack on the bayouI fell from my bedPut on my jungle bootsTo the lunatic mirror I did crawlA pale-eyed strangerWas staring at meLetras de cancionesI could almost recognize himWon't you please forgive meAll the harm I've doneI was bent on violence when I was youngBeauty comes from violenceBeauty's all I craveBut you can't get a robin from an eagle's eggJumbalaya, crawfish pie, filet gumboJody ran off with Yvonne, my ma cher aimee-ohI take a tall drink from a jar, act so gay-oThe war is overJohnny's BackBack on the bayou From Letras Mania
