Two Girls F/ Doug Sahm Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton 

They didn't even look like clouds 

I was underneath the weather 

My friends looked a crowd 

The swimmin' hole was full of rum 

I tried to find out why 

All I learned was this my friend 

You got to swim before you fly 

I got two girls 

One's in heaven and one's below 

Oh, one I love with all my heart 

And one I do not know. 

Two lonesome dudes on an ugly horse 

Passed by not long ago 

They asked me where the action was 

I said I did not know 

As they disappeared into the brush 

I heard the driver say 

He's a little slow between the ears 

He's always been that way. 

Jolly jane just lays around 

And listens with her mouth 

She's had about a dozen husbands 

But the last one pulled out 

Now, who's gonna bring her dinner 

Through the weary years ahead 

All she'll get from me is sympathy 

Got no time to see she's fed.
