Low Estate

To hell with boys creepin' up slowly
Swinging their shovels 'round
Diggin' up words of pleasure
From the evil, hollow ground

Oh, and here's one now, girl
The devil is in his eye
You'd better start stirring up soil, boy
Or here, 'ever you'll lie

See, I whisper to you in the dark
And I think you heard me say
Let's say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way

Charlie's neat here, and Charlie's keen
But David, he's a dandy
David, he's a nice young man
He feeds the girls on candy, yee-how

Does he love me? No
He love me not
Does he want me? Yeah
He want me to run

Whisperin' to you in the dark
And all that sordid 'gain
Well, let's say goodbye like we said hello
In a friendly kind of way

Yes, n' what I've done, that's my damage
Yes, n' what you do is yours
Y'all got nothin' on me
But I'll take that there crown of scorn
