Lyrics:
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
Well
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River
Well
It was just after sunrise
And down by the sea
Down on the sand flats
Where nothing will grow
Come drumming and footsteps
Like out of a dream
The tall weeds lay flat down
On the hard flat Kansas ground
And a sad song in her head
Kept blowin' round
She barely even knew his name
But
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair
High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely every way
Got the flats all around me sky up above
Yes I need a little water of love
I've been
Here come old flat top, he come grooving up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker, he
Flat River Mow Flat River Mow it's been a many a day since I washed her waters flow
If I ain't got the money to pay I'm gonna walk every step
all the love we save
Flat water we reach the crystal shore
She Don't need this earthly body no more
Nebraska's cold like a knife it cuts through you
High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way
Got the flats all around me, sky up above
Yes, I need a little water of love
I've
Here come old flat top, he come grooving up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker, he
your flat iron and your curlers
Your sparkling water and that damn perfume I never liked
Take your black Mercedes all that stuff for ladies
To me you're
He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for a new world
A palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his
Here I go again
Back to the feeling
Of no worthy cause
To carry me home
'Cause my heart's been skipping
Like a flat rock on water
And with
stepped on and cheated
We're flat stone cold lied to
We're not defeated, no
It's ah, easy money
It's a way out
Join the family
No middleman, no IRS
(Dolly Parton)
I used to sit for hours as a kid
Dangle my feet from an old flat bridge,
Seein' myself in the water below
Shatter my image with
Well, we laid it in a hollows and we laid it in the flat
And if it doesn't last forever, sure I swear, I'll eat me hat
Well, I've wandered up and down
Here come old flat top
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He
It's late December the new years never coming
Time passes slowly in a two room walk up flat
The sun is silent
As a cold rain gonna come on
No one
don't know what to do
So my little darlin'
I write these words to you
You dun stomped on my heart
And you mashed that sucker flat
You just
still hangin' to the tree
Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water
Shoo fly, dragon fly, get back to your mother
Pick up a flat rock, skip it
I was born down in the bottoms of the flat black Delta land
I grew up picking cotton in the Mississippi sand
My mama said son take that girl and go
Well, the road was hot and flat as a ruler
Good hundred miles between me and Missoula
That vinyl top wasn't getting no cooler
I stopped
It was a filthy block of flats
Trash was on the floor
A stink was in my nose
Hinges off the doors
She took me in her room
All was spic
