Old Gopher - Edgar Broughton Band

Did you hear about Kansas

About an old Kansas boy

Livin' on the river

In an old black Molloy

N' buying raw red gum

N' making raw red wine

Crazy as a stallion

Choked on a lariat line

Got a belly like a boiler

Got a head like a whale

N' when he moths yuh up for something

Gonna be blowin' a gale

There’s blood on the table

N' skins on the door

N' there’s last week’s huntin'

All over the floor

But there’s a dealer got in there

Made Kansas go crazy

An' he split him wide open

Like a two-night daisy

Threw the dealer out the window

And the rest out of the door

Now they’re floodin' water

Through his back door

They’ve been aiming to settle him

An' was him away

Oughta know the old gopher’s

Been gone for days

Blew over the prairie

Right into the hills

Now nobody gonna get him

Less a mountain kills
