lyrics

broke blade shovel cant loose it from the mud
stump chain busted and i cant shut the hood
stepped in a bucket couldnt get loose
walking down st. louis with the jawbone blues

jawbone blues
jawbone blues
lloading up the truck to them jawbone blues
jawbone blues
jawbone blues
going to the grave with them jawbone blues

mule in the kitchen tarp on the roof
old man smiling with one dead tooth
scratching with the rake chopping with the hoe
plucking in the kitchen on dead banjo

jawbone blues
jawbone blues
churning that butter to the jbb
jawbone blues
jawbone blues
humping that load to them jbb

jawbone blues
jawbone blues
hanging out the window with the jbb
jawbone blues
jawbone blues
filling up the dumpster to the jbb

hammer on the wheel hubcap stew
letter to the president say what you gonna do?
choking in the smoke salute to the flag
wiping down the windows with a kerosene rag

jawbone blues
jawbone blues
sawing them chickens to the jbb
jawbone blues
jawbone blues
stripping them threads to the jbb
jawbone blues
jawbone blues
looking for a match to them jbb
jawbone blues
jawbone blues
bury me mister with the jbb
