Mrs Dubose Lyrics - Pizza Deliverance [original Recording Remastered] - Drive By Truckers

Jupiter mules oh, the 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 

So 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 

There you're all dead inside, so withered and insane 

Oh, Mrs. Dubose you were such a flower 

You got the death, the dust and the opium runnin' through 

Runnin' through, run through your veins 

So black maid stays 'cause she's paid to be around 

Condemned and scared for all she knows 

So you better look at the road when you pass 

She gonna fix you with that evil eye 

Unless you're holdin' your old man's hand 

You better pass on by, you better pass on by 

When my body dies will you remember my name? 

Lord, when my body dies will you remember my name? 

Oh, Mrs. Dubose you were such a flower 

There you're all dead inside, so withered and insane 

So, oh, Mrs. Dubose, yeah, you were such a flower 

You got the death, the dust and the opium runnin' through 

Runnin' through your veins
