al duvall - o! anomia lyrics

oh, once i was reclusive
once i was a shut+in
i’d sit in total darkness
so my shadow wouldn’t b+tt in
oh, misery loves company
yes, i could sure see why
but lately, i’m so sociable
i hang my head and cry

oh, once i was a flogger
i made those prisoners scream
i wound up in a bakery
beating eggs and whipping cream
i worked as a contortionist
just trying to make ends meet
i’m the white sheep of the family
i failed them as a cheat
o! anomia, why don’t you care for me?
i’ve come home from antietam with a stump below my knee

my gal’s wrapped ’round my finger
’cause my hand is in her pursе
her folks say when i bring ‘er homе
“at least she can’t do worse.”
she bought a fancy frock and met
some menfolk from manhattan
the top half of the frock was felt
the bottom half was satin

a lawyer came a+courtin’
and thirteen kids he’d give ‘er
but thirteen is unlucky
so she drowned one in the river
she goes into the grove
and at the little grave she grieves
and, seeing how it’s arbor day
she packs her trunk and leaves

o! anomia, why don’t you care for me?
i’ve come home from antietam with a stump below my knee

the granger grins and grinds his grains
as he’s done all his life
but stranger sins his mind restrains
until he’s found a wife
and one day through his stockyards
there ripped a great tornado
the next day it rained rounds of beef
a way down in laredo
i’m rolling down the road now
with my neck upon the track
i sold my soul and now the devil
wants his money back
two wrongs don’t make a right, sir
it might take eight or nine
at least that’s what they tell the doughboys
falling by the rhine

o! anomia, why don’t you care for me?
i’ve come home from antietam with a stump below my knee
o! anomia, why don’t you care for me?
i’ve come home from antietam with a stump below my knee
