Paroles
Although this next song takes place in Mississippi This is a situation that could happen almost anywhere It's all a of matter of two people discussing a very small incident Until it really gets all out of proportion In this case ... Two men sittin' in straight back chairs Feet propped up on the railin' Sittin' in front of the country store Discussin' how the crops were failin' About that time a car drove by With an Ace Insurance bumper sticker Well, that must be the man been courtin' Abell He's somethin' of a city slicker (I could tell the way he's drivin' that car) Do you reckon he's goin' up to see Abell? You know her daddy went to Maben this day And her momma's been in Arkansas with her ailin' pa Ain't nobody home that way ('Ceptin' Abell) Now, I don't mean nothin' by what I say But if you won't say it, I can She ain't got no bid'ness alone With that Ace Insurance man (Why they's no tellin' what might happen) People ought to keep an eye on their kids You remember 'bout Abby McGuinness Like't killed her ma when she found out about it Course, I know it ain't none of my bid'ness But if it was me, (Now, if it was me) Well, it might be too late and it would be a pity Better call up the sheriff in Calhoun City And have the preacher organize a 'vestigatin' committee To see what's goin' on (Yes, sir and we better hurry, come on) Tearin' down the road in a pickup truck With Begley out takin' the lead Followed by a tractor and a half-lame mule Dust flyin' as they picked up speed Faces beamin' goodness and their jaws set hard Good people just doin' what's right And off in the distance was Abell's house And there wasn't a soul in sight Aw, I coulda told you (I just knew it) The committee bounded upon the front porch To meet the enemy face to face They went through the fence, into the flower bed And hit Pa's first prize hog in the head And left half a dozen Mama's chickens for dead But it wasn't nobody's fault Aw, prize hog (And all of them darlin' old grown bad chickens I wonder if they're covered? Got more important things to tend to, boy) Committee bounded upon the front porch To meet the enemy face to face Abell hollered through the screen door "Y'all messed up my Daddy's place" Within her hand she waved a policy Said with a Mona Lisa grin "Well, y'all timed that one just about right 'Cause Ace done struck again"
