lyrics

Funny Stories
You wanta hear em told in my southern drawl Make sure I throw in enough y’alls
Death by misadventure turned to comedy Poverty recast as nobility
Dark hollers tucked hard into the hills
Insanity and inbreeding and moonshine stills
You wanta hear new tales and the old ones again Blood feuds bloodlettings and distant kin
How this one lost her eye and that one his limb All the children that are just never seen again
Say I should be out on some kind of tour
How I’ve got enough material for a book or four
Say it’s a blessing to have such an interesting family
I should consider myself really lucky
You can’t get enough it never gets boring
You say I tell such
Funny Stories

Signs and superstitions and unmarked graves Real possibility of violence every day
All the ones that still never learn to read Must appeal to your sense of superiority
Wives and children forced to fend for themselves
The slightest transgression punishable by death
Forest floors never touched by daylight Middle of the day just like night
Tales of Indians Melungeons other lost tribes and somethin like pity rises in your eyes
Right or wrong I’ll tell you true
These people – my people –
Don’t want a damn thing from you
Say these hillbilly tales are fascinating
Even though you sometimes think I must be exaggerating
You can’t hear them enough even if they’re allegories
Cause I always tell such
Funny Stories
