Edgar Meadows Lyrics & Tabs by Billy X. Curmano
Edgar Meadows
guitar chords lyrics
When Edgar Meadows came to town, the townsfolk laughed.
When Edgar Meadows came to town, the townsfolk ...
They just up and laughed.
He wore a yellow stetson and a dirty gray shirt.
His socks they smelled from swine and his dirty lead mine.
He prayed for love and money which he never could get.
His mother said she'd never love 'em;
never love 'em...
even on a bet.
His wife she ran off with his pet rattlesnake.
When Edgar found out, well, he headed for the lake.
With a little soap and water, well,
he thought he'd win her back,
but when that lake saw Edgar, ...
It just got up and laughed.
he thought he'd win her back,
but when that lake saw Edgar, ...
It just got up and laughed.
He went back to his mine; it was no longer there.
His hogs they was gone; they was et by a bear.
He prayed to the Lord above to please send him a friend.
Someone he could trust.
They'd have to come they must.
They'd come on a bus,
but soon he began to cuss
and raise such a fuss
because of the gust
that lifted all the dust
in his mouth it were thrust.
the reason it weren't just.
Because he had no friends -
alone in the world,
Grimy face;
empty pockets;
dirty hands;
without a girl.
He said, "This is the end!"
Because he had no friends.
He went up on the mount.
decided to jump out,
to land in the mud,
the only thing he loved,
but even at this he failed.
He was caught in a gail;
blown atop a mighty oak tree...
never,
never,
never...
...to be free.
