Lyrics The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks

Cherry Pie

I rode the rock 'n' rockets, running into Deadwood Town

Didn't have much money to lay my head down

Her momma came walking down the street

Carrying the words on a string

So I sat myself right down, ordered some sweet cherry pie

I had a mighty fine time in Deadwood

Tasting sweet cherry pie

Yeah

Used to pull the young, must be the Waterloo

All I have to say is, "Honey, I won't sly to you"

I got a job hit the gold mine from nine to five

Yeah

There's two bits in the gas tank, I'm smoking big cigars

Didn't have too much money so I started stealing cars

Sheriff came walking down the street

Looks like a hard time in the can
