Take her down to be drowned
Take her down to the river
Ah, it feels so profound
Hey it gives me a shiver
Because she don’t go down
So easy as you’d expect
And that is the trouble
With the old man and the ex
Oh the sun also rises
The sun also sets
I ain’t planning no surprises
I ain’t got any regrets
It’s a curious case
Of the new weird America, yes
I couldn’t believe it when I’d seen it on the blackboard
The old man and the ex
Hey, I don’t know your business
I don’t know your grading policy
I don’t believe I seen this
In the Harry Smith Anthology
The two way street of charity
Just got so complicated, yes
All the greatest hits and rarities
And the old man and the ex
Hey, you gotta be joking
You gotta be kidding me
Hey, now it’s a long line
But it moves arthritically
The magician’s assistant
Keeps doing all the tricks, yes
Which just goes to show what I don’t know
About the old man and the ex
Oh it’s gonna take astringent
It’s gonna take a hoover
It’s gonna take a gallon
Of human stain remover
Hey you pick it up used
Honey buy it in bulk
I confess I’m confused!
Call me Coleman Silk
I don’t know anything about the old man and the ex
