Tom Brosseau - How To Grow A Woman From The Ground lyrics

rate me

I caught a string full of fish

down at the damn

and I take them to the field

they should be dead by then

and I wipe the sweat from my neck

and tally hoe the plow

cuz'ima gonna grow a woman from the ground

the night was a cahlk board with a fingetr nali moon

and the fish aint dead yet

they will be pretty sonn

oh its the same kind of feeling in an old folks home

even though you love them you cant wait for them to go

and I will take her into town and shoe her off

threes room on your dress for a corsage

and Ill open every door for you

and then I pulled out an almanak and thats were I read

cut your wrist on the fisns of the fish and drain all that you can

and I rolled both my sleevess in then began to draw

lines just as deep as days are long

and I'll name her angelina she was a teacher I once had

and a halo made of honey ran around her head

and she always use to give me some

when i was a kid and then I told her that I loved her and then I went and hid

now I'll sow up my skin and sow the land with my blood

and I stained up my slothes pretty good

and I turened the dirt to mudd

and i cannot help to close my eeyes and lay my body down

cuz i heard it takes forever to grwo a woman form the ground

and I bleed for you and now Im skinny as a rail

and I'll be so obliged to keep you nice and warm and safe

oh wont you be so fond of me

(magical hum)<br />
