the horse named bill - carl sandburg lyrics

Loading...

oh, i had a horse and his name was bill
and when he ran he couldn’t stand still
he ran away*one day—
and also i ran with him

he ran so fast he could not stop
he ran into a barber shop
and fell exhaustionized *with his eyet**th—
in the barber’s left shoulder

i had a gal and her name was daisy
and when she sang the cat went crazy
with deliriums*st. vituses*
and all kinds of cataleptics

one day she sang a song about
a man who turned himself inside out
and jumped*into the river*
he was so very sleepy

i’m going out in the woods next year
and shoot for beer*and not for deer*
i am — i ain’t —
i’m a grеat sharpshootress

at shooting birds i am a beaut
therе is no bird i cannot shoot
in the eye, in the ear, in the t**th
in the fin(g)ers
oh, i went up in a balloon so big
the people on the earth they looked like a pig
like a mice*like a katydid*like flieses*
and like fleasens

the balloon turned up with its bottom side higher
it fell on the wife of a country squire
she made a noise like a dog hound, like a steam whistle
and also like dynamite

oh, what could you do in a case like that?
oh, what could you do but stamp on your hat
and your toothbrush—and everything—
that’s helpless, helpless

- carl sandburg lyrics
