Flinty Kind Of Woman - Dar Williams[00:00:01]
It's a small town life and I like it[00:00:08]
'Cause the bad don't get in your way[00:00:10]
There's an angry god they're gonna strike it[00:00:12]
Yeah that's what we pay him for that's why we pray[00:00:14]
Well I guess the angry God he was a-fishing[00:00:18]
When Molly called me up with the news[00:00:20]
Within the space of a week yeah a pervert or a sex freak[00:00:22]
Let the kids take a peek that's more than a little cheek[00:00:24]
No pun intended ay-yi-yipee-yipee-yi-yi-ay[00:00:28]
Going east of Mississippi got a flinty kind of woman[00:00:33]
And you don't act smart and you don't touch my children[00:00:35]
If the young man wants to see the sun go down[00:00:37]
Well there was no time fooling with the trifles[00:00:43]
So there was no use in telling the men[00:00:45]
They would just go running for their rifles[00:00:47]
And then once you got him couldn't get him again[00:00:48]
So peg got a bolt of fishing tackle[00:00:52]
And Marge got her gardening clips[00:00:54]
And Sally Labiche put her hound on a leash[00:00:56]
And the timer on the quiche she's kind of nouveau riche[00:00:58]
But we like her ay-yi-yipee-yipee-yi-yi-ay[00:01:02]
Going east of Mississippi got a flinty kind of woman[00:01:06]
And you don't act fresh and you don't touch my children[00:01:08]
If the young man wants to see the sun go down[00:01:10]
It was the kids who spotted him a running[00:01:26]
As we drove through the harbor fog[00:01:28]
And that's when we got our engines gunning[00:01:30]
'Cause we knew he was headed for the cranberry bog[00:01:32]
We got our hip-high rubber boots strapped on[00:01:35]
And molly got the big flashlights out[00:01:37]
And by the welcome to new England sign[00:01:39]
Got him with the fishing line in the dark smell of brine[00:01:40]
Betty said this one is mine[00:01:43]
She is ruthless ay-yi-yipee-yipee-yi-yi-ay[00:01:46]
Going east of Mississippi got a flinty kind of woman[00:01:50]
And you just say no and you don't touch my children[00:01:52]
If the young man wants to see the sun go down[00:01:54]
Well we didn't have to drag him and a-jail him[00:02:00]
'Cause you don't have to take it so far[00:02:02]
When your roots go back to old Salem[00:02:04]
And you've got a local chapter of the Dar[00:02:06]
And now I don't go tooting on my lobsters[00:02:09]
'Cause your pride doesn't go with your plaid[00:02:11]
But it's a victory won and it couldn't be done[00:02:13]
By the hippy-dippy flaky-shaky fun-in-the-sun[00:02:15]
Braless wonders ay-yi-yipee-yipee-yi-yi-ay[00:02:19]
Going east of Mississippi got a flinty kind of woman[00:02:24]
And you know your place and you don't touch my children[00:02:26]
If the young man wants to see the sun go down[00:02:28]
If the young man wants to see the sun go down[00:02:31]
