rotten lettuce - the holy modal rounders lyrics

[verse 1]
i can’t wait until the hanging’s done
i can’t bear to see you getting strung
i can’t wait until they cut you down
i can’t bear, think you in the ground

[chorus]
why’d do you it, rotten lettuce?
why’d do you it? rotten lettuce sue
well i don’t know

[verse 2]
the man you shot he was a sh*t they say
he had it coming maybe anyway
but you you, can’t do a thing like you did
and you you, can’t have a life like his

[chorus]
why’d do you it, rotten lettuce?
why’d do you it? rotten lettuce sue
well i don’t know, i don’t care

[verse 3]
well you ran, you tried to get away
yeah you ran, you knowed you could not stay
you made me proud to see you get that far
you might’ve known sweetheart they’d catch you in the bar
[chorus]
why’d do you it, rotten lettuce?
why’d do you it? rotten lettuce sue
well i don’t know, hey i don’t care now

[interlude]
i sat on the corner
had a tear in my eye and a frog in my throat
a terrible acid heartburn stomach
i watched across the street
as they was taking my poor old sue
i couldn’t imagine what they were gonna do
now my acid heartburn stomach
it boiled a tear in my eye, cooked the frog in my throat
i had myself a three*leg frog soup
and all i could do is watch the crosses, i could talk
all i could say was please

[bridge]
i said please don’t hang (please don’t, please don’t hang)
i said please don’t hang (please don’t, please don’t hang)
i said please don’t hang (please don’t, please don’t hang)

[chorus 2]
please don’t hang, please don’t hang
please don’t hang my gal
she was a good gal, y’all
[verse 4]
the way you drank, it made me feel drunk too
the way you stank, it made me stink like you
the things you said, made me a slur like you
the things you did, made me a mess like you

[chorus]
why’d do you it, rotten lettuce?
why’d do you it? rotten lettuce sue
well i don’t know, i don’t care

[verse 5]
well you stuck me with the bills you didn’t pay
it doesn’t matter, won’t pay em anyway
but you you, can’t do a think like you did
and you you my dear, can’t have a life like his

[chorus]
why’d do you it, rotten lettuce?
why’d do you it? rotten lettuce sue
well i don’t know, i don’t care

[interlude]
all i could do was take good looks and have good cries
and all i could say was:
[bridge]
i said please don’t hang (please don’t, please don’t hang)
i said please don’t hang (please don’t, please don’t hang)
i said please don’t hang (please don’t, please don’t hang)

[chorus 2]
please don’t hang, good gravy
please don’t hang, bye baby now
please don’t hang my gal
she was my good gal y’all

[verse 1]
i can’t wait until the hanging’s done
i can’t bear to see you getting strung
i can’t wait until they cut you down
i can’t bear, think you in the ground

[chorus]
why’d do you it, rotten lettuce?
why’d do you it? rotten lettuce sue
well i don’t know, hey i don’t care now
