Two Girls

[Verse 1: Townes Van Zandt] Well, the clouds didn't look like cotton They didn't even look like clouds I was underneath the weather All my friends looked a crowd Well the swimmin' hole was full of rum And I tried to find out why All I learned was this my friend You got to swim before you fly [Chorus: Townes Van Zandt and Doug Sahm] I got two girls One's in heaven, one's below One I love with all my heart And one I do not know [Verse 2: Doug Sahm] Two lonesome dudes on a ugly horse Passed by not long ago They asked me where the action was I said that I don't know As they disappeared into the brush I heard the driver say He's a little slow between the ears He's always been that way [Chorus: Townes Van Zandt and Doug Sahm] I got two girls One's in heaven, one's below One I love with all my heart And one I do not know [Verse 3: Townes Van Zandt] Well Jolly Jane just lays around And listens with her mouth She's had about a dozen husbands But the last one just pulled out Now, who's gonna bring her dinner Through the weary years ahead All she'll get from me is sympathy Ain't got time to see she's fed [Chorus: Townes Van Zandt and Doug Sahm] I got two girls One's in heaven, one's below Oh, one I love with all my heart And one I do not know [Saxophone Solo] [Verse 4: Doug Sahm] It's cold down on the bayou They say it's all in your mind The moccasins are treadin' ice Leavin' strange designs The Cajuns say the last time This happened we weren't here Beaumont's full of penguins And I'm a-playin it by ear [Chorus: Townes Van Zandt and Doug Sahm] I got two girls One's in heaven, one's below One I love with all my heart And one I do not know I got two girls One's in heaven, one's below One I love with all my heart And one I do not know
