about

A very tasteless Country and Western Style Song.

lyrics

FADED STAR

Ma mother’s a creeple in Nashville,
With one leg, ma brother can’t dance
But he’s practising the hoppy hoedown,
Say sister, give us a chance.

Ma mother’s a creeple in Nashville,
She’ll sing you a song on one lung;
She’ll cough you up Country and Western
And spit it out “where eet belong”.

Ma mother’s a creeple in Nashville,
She’s crawled up and down Tenessee
Before that sad day when her voice trailed away
She’d starred at the “Graand ole Opree”.

Oh, she’d put a lump in your throat with her singin’,
A voice to bring tears of pure joy,
Now she whispers for dimes on street corners,
“Sir, show me you’re a good ole boy”.

A mother’s a creeple in Nashville,
She’s having to beg for her breead.
She’s a one legged son an’ her daughters a nun
But she’s trying to hold up her heead,
Yeas, she’s trying to hold up her heead.
