Album: Martha Splatterhead's Maddest Stories Ever Told (1988)

The Bag Lady Song

There's this little old lady
She lives on the streets
She's got nappy hair
And rags on her feet
Grimy hands and a dirty face
Every night she sleeps
In a different place

Sometimes I see her
Downtown bumming change
Acting real crazy
Talking to herself

She wears a tattered old coat
In the pouring rain
Drinking cheap wine
Everyday's the same
A two dollar bed at the mission tonight
Man that cheese sandwich
Will sure taste alright

Sometimes I see her
On the street corner
In a shopping cart
She carries her life
