The Snuff Queen

(album: You're Not The Woman You Used To Be - 1973)

Well, I'm making the scene with a snuff queen I met at a bingo parlor
I dropped in to try to win what I could on a dollar and a quarter
I left there with twenty dollars and a lover
Now me the queen we're doing our thing from one end of town to the other

Well, the snuff queen's got a face like I ain't never seen
She's been figured on the back cover of a foreign magazine
She's feeding me bologna about matrimoney
Glory be I can't see me being married to the snuff queen

Out of the clear blue sky she said I'd make a wife I'm young and in my prime
I'm big enough to keep you warm in the winter and shade you in the summertime
And listen here big boy I don't eat much
Just a box of bay and chocolate covered cherries and a can of buttercup snuff

Well, that snuff queen's got a face like I ain't never seen...

Now the snuff queen got me drinking a homemade tater booze
I turned up drunk she turned up in some high heel hush puppy shoes
Tried to make me her husband while my mind was in a mess
Well, it's lucky for me that the snuff queen couldn't even pass the blood test

Well, the snuff queen's got a face like I ain't never seen...
