Mid​-​Life Misanthropy Blues

from A Dying Man Can Sure Sing The Blues by Muleskinner Jones

lyrics

Don't care for silver, don't care for gold.
Don't care for silver, don't care for gold.
Well they might shine bright,
But on long Winter's nights
They'll not keep my bones from the cold.

Don't care for whisky, don't care for gin.
Don't care for whisky, don't care for gin.
You might blaze through the night,
But come morning light
You'll rue the sorry state that you're in.

Don't care for children, nor for a wife.
Don't care for children, nor for a wife.
See they'll whine and they'll moan,
Take all that you own,
Leave you nothing but heartache and strife.

Don't care for family, don't care for friends.
Don't care for family, don't care for friends.
They might stick by your side
While things are alright,
But they'll all let you down in the end.

So go tell Sally the goose is dead.
Go tell Aunt Sally the goose is dead.
Yeah the goose is dead 'cuz I cut off his head,
Now I'm having his feathers for my bed.
