Me and Old Booger

Why his old head is so hollow you can see him think. Onlyest time he ever makes any sense is when he takes to the drink. And that don’t last too long caustit puts him right to sleep, Kinda like me whenst I go to count’n them sheep. Well old Booger never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer, Shoot he just now figgered out where he’s possed to sit when drivin de car. He’s been want’n to get hitched but there ain’t no single kinfolk around, And besides they gots to be some of the ugliest women I’ve found. Well me and ole Boog went in to town, just kinda piddlin I guess, When out front Langtry’s hardware stood this ole gal, and I think somebody done shortchanged her on that dress. Why old Booger said that wuz the pertiest thing he ever did saw. Said he wuz gonna marry up with her and take her home to meet pa and maw. Well old Booger started to put the move on this sweet little ole thing. He asked her right there on the spot, said I’ll even buy you one of those wedding rings. Well she turned him down and it made poor ole Booger cry. She told him she wuz a transvestite that wuz the reason why. Well poor ole Booger wuz kinda like me He didn’t know she wuz a he well this( he-she) fooled him and me. Well we headed on back cause our luck done went sour. And besides it wuz getting onwards of the drinkin hour. Should you ever find your way back here in these hills. Bring your on jug and have it filled at one of our local stills. Shine down here the best you’ll ever find. Just be careful of the women some of em are the funny kind.
