Low Estate

To hell with boys creepin' up slowly

Swinging their shovels 'round

Diggin' up words of pleasure

From the evil, hollow ground

Oh, and here's one now, girl

The devil is in his eye

You'd better start stirring up soil, boy

Or here, 'ever you'll lie

See, I whisper to you in the dark

And I think you heard me say

Let's say goodbye like we said hello

In a friendly kind of way

Charlie's neat here, and Charlie's keen

But David, he's a dandy

David, he's a nice young man

He feeds the girls on candy, yee-how

Does he love me? No

He love me not

Does he want me? Yeah

He want me to run

Whisperin' to you in the dark

And all that sordid 'gain

Well, let's say goodbye like we said hello

In a friendly kind of way

Yes, n' what I've done, that's my damage

Yes, n' what you do is yours

Y'all got nothin' on me

But I'll take that there crown of scorn
