My Human Gets Me Blues

I saw you baby dancin' in your X-ray gingham dress

I knew you were under duress

I knew you were under your dress

Just keep comin', Jesus, you're the best dressed

You look dandy in the sky but you don't scare me

'Cause I got you here in my eye

In this lifetime you got my human gets me blues

With your jaw hangin' slack and your hairs curlin'

Like an ol' navy fork stickin' in the sunset

The way you were dancin' I knew you'd never come back

You were strainin' to keep your

Old black cracked patent shoes

In this lifetime you got my human gets me blues

Well, the way you been, old lady

I could see the fear in your windows

Under your furry crawlin' brow

A silver bow rings up in inches

You were afraid you'd be the devil's red wife

But it's all right, God dug your dance

And would have you young and in his harem

Dress you the way he wants 'cause he never had a doll

'Cause everybody made him a boy

And God didn't think to ask his preference

You can bring your dress and your favorite dog

And your husband's cane, and your old spotted hog

'Cause in this lifetime you got my human gets me blues
