Mrs. Dubose
Jupiter mules kickin' out all the stops Newfangled dogs danglin' stars from her eyelids She can't read between the lies anymore Lord, help her rise just one more time if you can. Still, the children read to her till she opens up her hands When my body dies will you remember my name? When my body dies will you remember my name? Oh, Mrs. Dubose you were such a flower now you're all dead inside withered and insane Oh, Mrs. Dubose you were such a flower, you got the death, the dust, and the opium runnin' through your veins Black maid stays cause she's paid to be around Condemned and scared for all she knows You better look at the road when you pass she gonna fix you with that evil eye unless your hotdin' your old man's hand you better pass on by better pass on by From Letras Mania
